Volunteering at Fremont

Volunteers contribute greatly to Fremont's excellent reputation and parent participation is one of the things that makes our school so special. Studies show that students are more successful in school when parents volunteer - and our children are the beneficiaries of dedicated Fremont parents. Be a part of our success! Play a part in your child's school experience and make a difference for all children at Fremont.

We understand that parents' schedules and interests can vary broadly. The good news is that there is a great variety of opportunities that fit with everyone’s schedule and span a lot of interests. Click on the descriptive links to the left to learn more about each opportunity. 

For more detailed information on these events and organizations, please see those sections on the website. To sign up to help, please email the person listed as the contact on our PTA Directory or PAC Directory, or contact our Volunteer Coordinator.

Volunteer Opportunities

  • Also known as the B&G Club, this program was conceived by the Bully Prevention Coordinating Committee (BPCC) to offer students a non-athletic option of play during recess. The availability to students is dependent upon the volunteer efforts of parents. Board Games, unstructured reading and informal art are offered.

    The B&G Club is offered to all students grades 1-6. Sixth-graders may earn community service hours when assisting a parent volunteer.

  • Our librarian needs helpers during the week to re-shelve books and assist with other small tasks. Help is usually needed for one hour, twice per week. 

  • Room Parents have a very important role in helping the teachers and creating a great experience for our kids. This rewarding volunteer position allows you to interact regularly with your child’s teacher and have a greater knowledge and participation in the class activities.

    Duties will vary by teacher, but may include:

    • Creating a monthly volunteer schedule
    • Scheduling parent helpers for classroom centers
    • Scheduling parent helpers for field trips, parties, copying, prep work, classroom beautification, drive-thru lane and other school-related events
    • Coordinating class parties (usually a winter party and end-of-year party)
    • Coordinating classroom booth volunteers and silent auction basket for the Fiesta at the end of the year
    • Coordinating teacher’s gifts
    • Keeping parents informed of school activities
    • Submitting photos of class for the yearbook

    If you are interested in becoming a Room Parent, please contact the Volunteer Coordinator before the start of the school year.

    A list of interested parents is distributed to the teachers who then look for a match with their class list and select their Room Parent(s). Room Parent assignments are typically communicated the first week of school.

  • Fremont is a neighborhood school thriving with native plants and flowers. Members of this committee will identify large projects for potential fundraising efforts and scope small projects for volunteers to complete both during school and on weekends. Community member, the PTA, and children can take part – all are welcome!

  • A beloved elementary school tradition: book fair is offered twice a year and lots of volunteers are needed to create a successful fair. Parents can volunteer to help set up/tear down, assist students during the fair, decorate the auditorium, themed activities and more!
