Olde Creek PTA can't run without the countless hours of volunteer time provided by our fantastic families! We understand not everybody can take time out during the day to help out in the classrooms. However, there are so many other opportunities to help the school and your children. We're trying to make it even easier to help out, however you can.

Online Volunteer Training. This training is mandatory for all volunteers. Click the link to view the PDF with audio. When you've finished, print and fill out the "Return Form" at the end of the presentation and turn in to the front office.

Please read more information about health and safety when working with students and some of our helpful hints!
