Where Children Learn through Discovery
Parent Participation
At The Farmhouse School we believe that family plays an integral role in a child’s education. Parents can volunteer once, occasionally, or on a regular basis as their schedule allows. We appreciate the diversity this can add to our classroom, and invite parents to consider what they may be able to share with our students. This may include:
- Create and share a special art project
- Share a special holiday tradition
- Facilitate a cooking or food experience
- Engage children during a presentation showcasing special skills or hobbies
- Share their knowledge and talents with staff and students
- Spend time assisting in the classroom
- Or anything else that may contribute to the student experience!
Social Coordinator
This is a volunteer (or volunteers) who coordinates monthly social events for the class that take place outside of class time. The events can be simple, like a park meet-up, or more involved if you wish ( tour a fire station, pottery painting, etc.) Some classes chose to have events more frequently, but that is optional. The social coordinator plans the monthly event and emails families or sets up a sign-up genius/ e-vite to let the whole class know the event details. A list of previous activities/ideas can be provided.
Please let us know if you are interested or would be willing to share this position.
We find that these social opportunities make a significant difference in our students’ social development and help the class bond and feel a sense of community.
