GET INVOLVED

We love having parent and community volunteers in our schools and our students love it even more!  You can make a difference in the lives of our students and there are so many ways to get involved. Please note- for everyone's safety, you must have your completed and signed application approved by the principal of the school where you plan to serve. You must also complete a criminal background check before serving in any capacity. This background check is done at no cost to the prospective volunteer. Thank you for your understanding.

Volunteering in Montezuma-Cortez Schools

We need your input and ideas to make our schools even better!  Each school has a parent/community team that helps improve the school and support key activities.  These groups are called school improvement committees or parent teacher organizations.  Please consider joining these teams and/or attending the meetings. 

There are also many other volunteer opportunities including:

  • Reading with students
  • Chaperoning activities
  • Mentoring students
  • Getting involved in Watch Dog Dads
  • Assisting with coaching sports
  • Sponsoring clubs
  • Assisting with academic competitions like:
    • Knowledge Bowl
    • Destination Imagination
  • Donating snacks or food for our backpack programs. 

Contact your school to learn more about how you can get involved!
