We Need You!
Volunteer at UV Today!

Any time you can give our school community is appreciated and goes a long way for making Uthoff Valley a great place for our students to learn and grow. Whether you are a working parent, or one who stays at home, there are plenty of volunteer opportunities to fit your schedule.

Here's a brief example of ways our volunteers are asked to help:

  • Work one-on-one with students in small groups or individually
  • Assist in the library, art room, copy room or with special teacher-led, school-wide events
  • Help with planning and organizing PTO events, coordinating Caring School Community services or serve as a board member
  • Work a brief shift at a PTO event, assisting students with crafts, serving food or leading a game station, or assist with set up or clean up
  • Organize parent involvement in class parties or act as a PTO liaison for your child's classroom
  • Donate materials to support events or cook dishes to share

Support one event, or schedule yourself as an on-going volunteer resource. The opportunities are plentiful and flexible! Click here to see a full description of all opportunities.

Getting started is as easy as 1, 2, 3!

1)  Attend a Volunteer Training session with Mrs. Browning or Ms. Harrick.
2)  Choose an opportunity that works for you
3)  Send in your Volunteer Sign-up Form, contact a PTO Board Member or talk to your child's teacher  

Once you've attended volunteer training, you'll receive a lanyard to wear when you work at school. If you sign up to help with a PTO event, you'll hear from the event chairperson through VolunteerSpot, an online service that the PTO uses to organize events. You'll be asked to commit to a task or a work shift and VolunteerSpot will send you helpful reminders leading up to the event date.

Following is a list of PTO events, activities and services scheduled for the 2012-13 school year and the timeframe in which each occurs. Additional information about these opportunities is available in the Volunteer Handbook or click here to see volunteer opportunities descriptions.

Kudos to Jaime Bayes, Susan Boden, Liz Fendler and Steph Rose for coordinating a nice farewell reception for Mrs. Browning.

Thanks to the many parents who donated items, time and resources to make Teacher Appreciation Week a special celebration for our awesome teachers!
