How to Volunteer IN-PERSON at View Ridge Elementary
To volunteer at View Ridge Elementary, proceed with our three-step process:
- Get approved by SPS. Click here to complete the SPS volunteer application, update your school selection, or check your approval status. Once you are approved, you will be assigned a volunteer ID number. Please indicate your ID number on the sign in sheet each time you arrive at school to volunteer. A list of the approved volunteers and ID numbers will be available at the office.
- Join the View Ridge Elementary PTA (recommended, but not required). The PTA’s insurance policy may help protect PTA members from personal liability arising from volunteering activities at PTA-sponsored events.

It takes a village to support our After School Enrichment. Right now, we are currently looking for 4-10 Adult Volunteers to support our after school entrichment.
What does that entail? Making sure that kids get to the right classes or have an adult pick them up after the vendors are done.
We have After School Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, but we need a community of adults to support with check in and administration.
Can you help?
Support the Yearbook Committee! We need volunteer photographers and people who can do some layout work.
Contact Chair Jen Beaverson to help!
