Open Chair Positions

If you are interested in becoming a committee chair or volunteering this year, please contact our VP of Volunteers, Rebecca Pike, at WGvpvolunteers@gmail.com.

Become a Room Parent!

As a Room Parent, you will be serving as a liaison or point of contact for your classroom. Being a room parent is one of the most enjoyable and valuable volunteer opportunities at Willow Grove. You will be an important piece in communication between the parents, the teacher and the PTA/Foundation. As a Room Parent, you will be supporting this communication by distributing ready-to-go templates:

  • Sample Letter to Parents 

  • Teacher's Favorite Things Template

  • Communication Permission Form

How Do I Become a Volunteer?

District Requirements for Volunteers:

To volunteer on campus, please check PUSD’s volunteer requirements.

  • Make sure your volunteer documents (Code of Conduct and Megan’s Law) are completed and turned in.

  • Make sure your TB Test is current.

  • Sign in and wear your volunteer badge when on campus.

Become a Room Photographer!

As the Room Photographer, you will be capturing the joy and learning that goes on in the classroom or during special events. These candid photos will be shared with the class families and with our yearbook team to ensure each child is represented in the yearbook at the end of the year.

Become a Day Of Event Volunteer!

There are many wonderful events held throughout the year that can only be a success if we have volunteers to make it happen. This is a great option for volunteers that are able to commit to specific times/dates for volunteering. Keep an eye out on communication from your Room Parent and the weekly ConnectEd emails for volunteer opportunities!
