Family Engagement and Volunteering

Family Engagement:

At the 2016 Maryland PTA 101st Annual Convention the National PTA representative stated that the overwhelming #1 factor in the success of children in school is family engagement. JHES PTA wants to encourage, promote and facility thriving family engagement that results in wonderfully successful children! Below we describes ways in which families and parents can get involved with the Jeffers Hill Elementary School  PTA.

Tier 1:  Paid Member
– We ask parents to pay annual dues that support our many volunteer efforts and our ability to help the school and our children be the best they can be.

Tier 2: Event/Activity Volunteer
– We ask parents and/or family members to sign up to volunteer for one or more of our events/activities that we host throughout the school year. We provide a calendar of events and activities for the year to allow parents to indicate which events/activities they would like to volunteer for. Please refer to our more detailed description of volunteering at JHES below.

Tier 3: PTA Meeting Contributor
– We ask parents and family members to attend and participate in JHES PTA scheduled open meetings. We intend to have an open PTA meeting every other month that will feature an important topic for families to be aware of. We need and look forward to our parents attending and contributing to our open PTA meetings.

Tier 4: Board Mentee
– The JHES PTA executive board members would like to promote active participation and leadership development within the PTA. Therefore we would like to invite parents and family members to engage officers and committee chairs to find out what they do and see how they do what they do.

Tier 5: PTA Leader
– We ask parents that have an interest and passion for leadership in the JHES PTA to reach out to the executive board members to talk about their interests.

 


Volunteering:

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Volunteers are the lifeblood and soul that allow organizations like PTAs to thrive.

We will advertise these opportunities in email communications, on our PTA school message board, and other JHES PTA communication mediums.

JHES PTA acknowledges and respects the fact that there are many demands placed on our parents and wants to encourage our parents to engage where their time and availability allow them to. Here we present several tiers that allow parents to engage where and when they are able.
