Volunteering with Woodland Public Schools is about more than completing tasks — it’s about making a lasting impact on the lives of students and the health of our community. Together, as a team, we can continue to build a thriving educational environment that supports all learners. The research is clear about the role of parent, family, and community involvement — it makes a significant difference in student achievement. Woodland Public Schools is fortunate to have a very supportive and engaged community that understands and appreciates the important role education plays in the overall health of our community.  

Volunteers are an important part of ensuring student success in Woodland Public School and Policy 5630 and Procedure 5630P outline the process and capacity volunteers could serve in.  The District is strongly committed to an active volunteer program and fosters an active partnership with individual volunteers at the school level and with organized volunteer organizations such as Beaver Boosters, TEMPO, and PTSA.

Volunteers work under the guidance of school principals, teachers, and staff members. Volunteers can contribute to schools by helping with fundraising, assisting in classrooms with specific tasks, preparation of materials, clerical duties, organizing events, coaching sports teams, reading to children, helping with library duties, supporting school activities supervision, and participating in after-school programs all while providing valuable support to teachers and students alike. 

For more information, please contact the main office of the school where you would like to volunteer. You can also print the volunteer packet and return it to the school to expedite the process. An optional volunteer training will be held on February 18, 2025, from 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM in the school board room for current volunteers or those who want to find out more information. Please RSVP to barnesv@woodlandschools.org if you plan to attend.
