In the School

reminder!

It is a CMS requirement that all school volunteers must register in their system. If you have volunteered previously, you still must renew your registration every school year. Visit CMS Volunteer Registration Login to renew or complete your registration.  

Main Contact – Famata Haines, Irwin Staff Volunteer Liaison

Volunteering with the Connect teachers and other staff is a great way to contribute to the entire Irwin community and to get to know staff other than your student’s teacher. There are often special projects and needs throughout the school year.

Kindergarten Volunteers - 10/22/18

The kindergarten classes need volunteers to help during weekly math sessions and literacy workshops.  

• Math sessions are from 1:30-2:15 PM each day
• Literacy workshop is 11:00-11:45 AM each day.  
• Volunteers need to commit to the same time slot each week to provide consistency for the students.

This is a rewarding and engaging opportunity to help our youngest students grow! All volunteers must be registered with CMS.  This is also a great opportunity for grandparents to help. 
Please contact Ms. Rosthal if you are able to help.
