BECOME A VOLUNTEER

JOIN THE TEAM OF EAGLE VOLUNTEERS TODAY!

Each year, Friends of Micheltorena (FOM) and the school work together to accomplish myriad goals, from providing support in the classroom to building our community through fun events, to securing funding for school programs. There are many ways to become involved and support our students. Our goal is 100% parent participation! If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, email: [email protected]

There are so many ways to volunteer this year!

  • Dig, paint, plant, and clean at our annual Beautification Day
  • Help valet at morning drop-off
  • Support Fall Pledge Drive (often by dressing up as a witch or the costume of your choice and greeting people at the gate)
  • Help set up or clean up at Pumpkin Fest (you can also run a booth!), March-a-thon, or Día de la Familia
  • Support teacher appreciation week
  • Become a room rep for your child’s classroom (Yes, it helps to be bilingual but this is not mandatory!)
  • Chaperone field trips

How to become an LAUSD volunteer (Yes, there are a lot of steps)

Per new district rules, in order to be on school grounds as a volunteer on campus or for FOM during school hours, you must be an approved volunteer. Ms. S will no longer be okaying one-time passes to be on campus. 
 
Last year's approved volunteers: You still need to do all of this.
 
Make sure you complete ALL the steps below.
 
1. You will need a TB Certificate of Completion, which you can find here. 
 
TB testing can be done (or potentially waived by a health professional on the same form) at your doctor’s office, many CVS clinics, many community-based clinics, Carbon Health, and other places. TB test forms are good for 4 years, but you do need to resubmit yours to the office every year. Heads up: Most testing sites do not provide same-day results.
 
2. Fill out a volunteer application and print it out.
 
Click parent/guardian at the bottom of the page, and complete the new application for the 23-24 school year. Once you submit, print out the application and the additional forms you e-signed within the application (the next steps page will give you that option).
 
 
Within 2 weeks of filling out your volunteer application, PRINT and submit the following documents in person to Ruth or Jessica at the Micheltorena main office.
