Building a Strong Volunteer Community
There are many opportunities for parents and guardians to become involved at The Catherine Cook School. Volunteers are an important part of the community.

Whatever your schedule, abilities or interests, there is a volunteer opportunity for you.

Volunteer Handbook
The Volunteer Handbook provides a detailed explanation of the opportunities to get involved in the CCS Community. Parents help support students in a variety of ways--volunteering in the classroom, serving on the PA, supporting The Catherine Cook School Fund, or working on the Annual Benefit Committee. Generous volunteers help make a CCS education extraordinary.

Field Trip Chaperones
One of the most popular ways for parents to get involved and be a part of student life at CCS is to chaperone a Class Field Trip. Opportunities to chaperone are communicated by each classroom teacher. Teachers and Room Parents work hard to give everyone who is interested a chance to chaperone a field trip. Chaperoning is an important responsibility that we take very seriously. Anytime our students step out of the buiding we have an additional responsibility to ensure their health and safety. Please review the Field Trip Chaperone Guidelines in advance of your child's class trip to be sure you understand your roles and responsibilities - and have fun!
