Volunteering
At Wichita Public schools we recognize that when families are involved in their children's education they achieve higher grades, have better attendance and behavior, complete more homework, and demonstrate a more positive attitude toward education. We are proud of the diversity of our students and believe that building authentic, culturally-inclusive partnerships with their families is the best way to ensure their success in school and life. Wichita Public Schools cordially invites you to become our partner and get involved in your children's education! We each possess skills that are valuable to a student. Some of the things you can do to contribute are:
- Be a tutor or a mentor
- Help students with homework
- Listen to children read
- Play educational games with students
- Assist with math or science
- Share information about local history
- Help students learn another language
- Support special projects, activities, or field trips
- Assist with after-school programs
- Provide office support
- Become involved with school leadership
