Volunteer Opportunities
There's something for everyone!
Volunteers play a critical role in the success of our school and we can ALWAYS use more!
There are many opportunities to volunteer through the PTSA, including committee chair positions (e.g., DEI committee, communications, etc.) and various PTSA-sponsored programs (teacher appreciation activities, lost and found, Pirate Crew, etc.). Much of this work can be done remotely and only requires a few hours a month.
​
**PTSA still needs a volunteer for the Holiday Store. If you would like to volunteer to chair Holiday Store or serve on any of these committees, please send us an email at rampelloptsa@gmail.com

Scholastic Book Fair Volunteers - Mrs. Favata, our Media Center Specialist extraordinaire will be hosting the Fall Scholastic Book Fair on the week of Nov. 7-14. She is in need of volunteers to help with setup starting Thursday, Nov. 6, with the grand opening on Friday, Nov. 7. She'll need volunteers to run the store with her, and some to help get it packed up the following Monday, Nov. 17. We'll be posting a Sign Up Genius for volunteers soon.

Elementary & Middle School Pirate Store "Shopping" Volunteers - Our staff could use some help on Fridays (unless otherwise noted) running the Elementary & Middle School Pirate Store "shopping" for our students. Middle school gets to shop each Friday at both lunches and each elementary grade is assigned a specific Friday of the month when they can use their pirate bucks to "purchase" goodies from the Pirate Store. The "store" (aka goodie cart) is set up in the Cafeteria (or visits the Kinder classes). Volunteers are needed to help take Pirate Bucks and distribute items - for younger grades that means helping them in the line to ensure students have enough bucks for what they would like to purchase. For middle schoolers who are familiar with the process, volunteers help ensure student names are on the back of Pirate Bucks and names are added to the various passes they may purchase with their bucks. For more information about volunteer tasks and to sign up for available times slots for the Elementary and/or Middle School Pirate Stores click one of the links below. The Elementary Pirate Store sign up will be shared soon. Family members can sign up for a time adjacent to their student's lunch time and have lunch with their student before or after a shift if desired.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee Chair - Our DEI committee works to create and execute simple, fun and meaningful initiatives that support our school’s inclusive culture and makes space for all of our young pirates to shine. Past initiatives have included the Anti-racism book club, diverse book giveaways and recommendation lists for families, providing opportunities for students to be exposed to other cultures during school and at evening events such as the Fall and Spring Mega Night events, and more. The DEI Committee Chair would is responsible for coordinating the committee to generate ideas, present to the board and execute efforts with the help of the executive board, committee members and other volunteers.

HCPS Volunteer Application
Whether you plan to volunteer a lot or here and there, all volunteers coming on campus, MUST complete the HCPS Volunteer Application. It can take a couple of weeks to process, so it's better to complete early!
​
If you've applied in the past, your application may still be active. Click here to check the status.
​
Other Volunteer Opportunities
There are opportunities to volunteer outside of PTSA too! Teachers and staff welcome volunteers at Rampello and often volunteers are needed to help in various ways, including:
​
-
Assisting teachers in the classroom (particularly the lower grades).
-
Checking-out books, re-shelving and organizing books and completing various other tasks in the Media Center. If you are interested in volunteering in the Media Center, contact Media Center Specialist Mrs. Favata.
-
Serving as the "room parent" (K-5) or "grade-level liaison" (Middle School) to assist with class or grade-level communications, volunteer coordinating and supply donations signups
​
We encourage you to find what fits for you and reach out if we can help connect you to other volunteer opportunities outside of PTSA. We can direct you to the right faculty or staff member.
