Volunteering
Redmond Elementary PTSA has many projects and activities which exist only because of our strong tradition of volunteering. Your skills, time, and enthusiasm are needed and appreciated and we encourage participation and involvement from everyone.
Each year, the Redmond Elementary PTSA recognizes volunteers who have given outstanding service to our children and school community through a number of Service Awards.
There are lots of volunteer opportunities available, and one will fit your life! You have the ability to make a difference in your child's education and the power to enrich the education of every child at Redmond Elementary. Start making a difference today and contact our Volunteer Coordinator at volunteer@redmondelptsa.org OR fill out the Volunteer Sign-up Sheet and send it to school with your child. Thank you for your support!
Note: Volunteers must also complete the Lake Washington School District Volunteer Screening paperwork every two years. Conveniently, the volunteer application can also be filed online on the LWSD website.
