Volunteer Opportunities

All great schools know that providing opportunities that reinforce the bond between home and school is an important component of student success. At RMDS, where community is a core value, parents' volunteer work is needed and appreciated.  Parents give time in many ways, among them, classroom assistance with projects and field trips, guiding visitors to the school, serving on the Parents Association Board, welcoming new families, Library, and organizing fundraisers. Each family’s requirement for the number of hours is based on their program. Announcements about volunteer opportunities are sent to parents each summer, with updates appearing in the school newsletter.
 
Admissions events:
Please contact the Admissions Office if you would like to help in Admissions or the Welcoming Families committee of the Parents’ Association.
