Parent Volunteer Form

Research confirms that academic achievement is directly proportional to parental involvement in schools. Volunteer

work is an integral part of the Renaissance School’s success. The services and expertise that parents provide allow

teachers and staff to focus on our children, while also controlling the rising cost of education. What parents get in

return is invaluable: a way to be directly involved in their child’s school as well as a chance to meet other

Renaissance School parents.
