Volunteer Clearance

Some volunteering opportunities requires volunteer clearance. Clearance involves getting finger printed once for $67, answering a tuberculosis questionnaire, and giving the forms to the school office. Let Taylor PTA know you will get volunteer clearance. We are stronger together!

Current Needs

Teacher & Staff Appreciation week: Our amazing hospitality team (Lorena and Jessica) have organized a wonderful week for Taylor teachers and staff, but they need a little help during the day to make it all happen. Sign up to provide help or donate food.

Taylor PTA officers: The PTA can only provide our school with academic, enrichment, and community-building resources if we fill required roles. Let us know the positions you'd like to learn more (no commitment) by filling out this form.

Music Department: We are also looking for helpers to work with current parent leads and learn for the following years. Sign up.

Lunchtime: Spend roughly 30 minutes between 11:34 AM–1:09 PM at the cafeteria, on the field, or on Wednesdays at the BARK store. The BARK Store is where students can spend their BARK Bucks. During the school day students can earn BARK Bucks for a variety of reasons. Volunteer clearance required. Email Ms. Thomas ( dthomas@millbraesd.org ).
