Volunteering
From landscaping to communications, recruiting new members to hosting PTA socials, volunteering at school dances or our annual Fun Run, organizing spirit nights at local restaurants or staff appreciation lunches...we have a role for you!
And whether you can volunteer in person at events and clean-up days or help with tasks from home or work...whether you want to lead or help out at one event...there are lots of ways to be involved!
Join the PTA today and let us know how you want to PTA!
Below is an overview of our committees and open roles. To learn more about any of these, contact [email protected].

CMS requires ALL volunteers be registered and approved. This is a quick and easy process. If you've volunteered in the past, simply renew your registration. Please visit CMS volunteers to register or renew.
