The success of the PTA depends on the cooperation and support of its members.

Please consider joining a committee or donate an hour of your time. Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated. By working together, we can accomplish so much for our children.

 

The PTA, plans its programs and activities to meet the needs of children and youth in the community. The strengths and success of the PTA depends on the interest and participation of individual members. We are investing in our children’s futures by advocating for better conditions for children and families, promoting quality education and a true partnership between home and school, striving to expand the Arts, encouraging community involvement and working for a healthy environment within our school and home.

 


If you plan to volunteer at Sherwood Forest you must . . .

obtain and complete a Bellevue School District Volunteer Application. Background checks are required prior to volunteer participation at the school.

 

  • Ask for a Volunteer Form at the school's main Office
  • or download the Volunteer Form

 

When you come in to volunteer . . .
Check in at the main office, sign the volunteer roster and wear a volunteer nametag while you are at Sherwood Forest School. Be sure to sign out so that in case of emergency the office does not have to account for your whereabouts.
 
Volunteer Opportunities
Please go to the "PTA Committees" page and see if there are any activities where you might be able to help out. Contact the chair person or a boardmember and indicate your interest.
 
If you would like to volunteer but think you don't have time or don't know how things work, please don't hesitate to contact one of the boardmembers. We will find something that will work with your interests or time schedule.
 
Even ONE hour can make the difference!
