We couldn't Do it Without You!

Find the volunteer opportunity that is right for you! Volunteering your time, energy and expertise helps support the essential arts, enrichment and support programs we value at Westlake.  It is also a great way to connect with other parents and families who live in the community.
There are tasks both very small and large that need volunteers.  
​Our school events only happen if we have parents/caregivers to make them happen!  We can't do it without you.

Volunteer in the Classroom:

Volunteering in the classroom is also a great way to be involved and connected.​  Talk to your child's teacher or sign-up to be a classroom support parent.

Each classroom needs:
  • Art Parent to coordinate the annual classroom art project.
  • Yearbook Parent to collect photos and design your child's classroom yearbook pages.
  • Room Parent to support the teacher with classroom events. 
  • Class Volunteers help support classroom learning.
Classroom volunteer requirements:
1) Pick-up & complete a Volunteer Agreement Form from the Westlake Office. 
2) Get a TB test from your medical provider (unless you've had one within the past 4 years) 
3) Provide a copy of COVID vaccination card
* To chaperone field-trips you must also complete Live Scan fingerprinting. Please see the Volunteer Agreement form for more information about fingerprinting.

Questions about classroom volunteer requirements can be answered in the Westlake Office
