Volunteer

 

We encourage every parent to volunteer at least once during the school year. There are ongoing opportunities, from at-home projects to on-campus office shifts. Please choose at least one opportunity that's right for you. Volunteering supports our school, shows your child you care, and gets you involved in the BIS parent community.
