Volunteering
Volunteering at Frederick Classical Charter School is essential for the smooth operation and success of both governance and extracurricular activities. The Griffin Triangle is the backbone of our school's success. The more involved the parent(s), the more successful the scholar. As such, families are requested to volunteer for at least 15 hours per year.
There are two primary ways to volunteer: joining committees or providing school day support. In-school and from-home volunteer activities are available and can accommodate many schedules and preferences in order to fulfill your volunteer commitment. In-school day volunteering, such as working as a library assistant, lunch monitor, or teacher aide, supports the daily functioning of classrooms and strengthens the connection between parents and the school community. Your involvement not only supports the school’s mission and fufills the Griffin Triangle but also enriches the educational experience for all scholars.

Volunteer Opportunities
These are two excellent ways to complete your 15 requested hours of volunteer work at Frederick Classical Charter School, both of which can significantly impact our community. Additional opportunities are communicated throughout the year via the Griffin Gazette and School Messenger emails.
School day support:
In-school day volunteering involves traditional yet vital tasks that directly support the daily functioning of our classrooms. Roles such as library assistant, lunch monitor, and teacher aide create a smooth and supportive environment. This hands-on involvement plays a key role in the school’s everyday operations and fosters a stronger connection between parents and the school community.
Committees:
Volunteering by joining a committee is a fantastic way to leverage your unique skills and talents to enhance our school community. Whether you have expertise in event planning, communication, or organizational skills, Parent Teacher Committee (PTC) and Board of Trustees offer opportunities to make a significant impact. By participating, you can help shape school events, improve programs, and support initiatives that benefit both scholars and staff, all while working alongside other dedicated parents.
