Volunteering at Rancho

 

The Rancho Sienna Elementary PTO is a parent-run, non-profit organization powered entirely by volunteers. Every program we run and every event we host relies on the support of families like yours.

Why Get Involved?

  • Support Your Child: Play an active role in enhancing your child’s school experience.
  • Build Community: Connect with teachers, staff, and other RSES families.
  • Make an Impact: Help shape the programs that make our school great.

How It Works

Whether you have one hour a month or want to lead a committee, there’s a place for you on our team. As volunteer opportunities come up, we’ll share them in our weekly newsletter, post them on the Volunteer Opportunities page, and announce them on social media.

PTO Committees 

PTO committees are essential to the success of our organization and wouldn't be possible without volunteers like you. Once formed, committee members will work with the PTO Board to create a plan for the school year and identify a chairperson (where needed).  

Volunteer Opportunities

If a committee isn't right for you, that's OK! There will be several other volunteer opportunities throughout the school year. These opportunities will be communicated throughout the year on our social media channels and in the weekly school newsletter. 

If you are new and/or unsure where to get started, please reach out to our Volunteer Coordinator, Jen at volcoordinator@ranchosiennapto.org.

 

Watch D.O.G.S.

 

The Watch D.O.G.S. program is a wonderful way for fathers, grandfathers, uncles, and other father-figures to volunteer at school for a day! 

You will have the chance to spend some time with your student in the classroom, eat lunch with them, help out around the front office, the gym, and so much more! 

 

Please contact our head Watch DOG if you would like to become involved: watchdogs@ranchosiennapto.org

 

Why I Volunteer 

 

"I love spending time with the kids, engaging with them in their activities and helping them select books of their interest. It’s been my favorite volunteer opportunity thus far at Rancho!" - Meghann Oldis

 

"When my daughter started kindergarten, as a new family to the school, it felt like I was sending her into the school without visibility into what happened each day. I spent the first year getting the 'lay of the land', so to speak, and then found a couple of things that I COULD do as a working parent. My company fully supports volunteering, so I spend an hour and a half in the library 2-3 times a month. It allows me to feel more connected to my daughter's education and get to know the teachers and staff." -Jen McLaughlin
