Volunteering

  • Volunteers Needed
    We can't do all the great things we do for our students without your help!
     
    The Open Philosophy and active parent involvement is what makes Mission Ave Open Elementary School such a desirable educational experience.  Most parents have chosen to enroll their child at Mission Avenue Open School, because we offer a wide variety of opportunities for your children to learn.
     
    We can only do these amazing activities and field trips with the support of our Mission parents. Whether you volunteer in the classroom, on a field trip, or at home, we welcome and encourage parent participation.
