Volunteer Opportunities

The school has a parent group that helps the school in many ways. They work on fundraisers, parents meetings, special events and ongoing school needs throughout the year. Parent participation is referred to as a Commitment to Excellence.  All parents are required to demonstrate their commitment to their child's experience at Montessori School of Franklin. All parents are expected to volunteer their time and talents for a minimum of 20 hours per child or 30 hours per family over the school year. At least half of these volunteer hours are to be provided in fundraising. Lists of needed areas of service will be posted periodically in order to guide that process, or you may see the Office Manager for ways in which you can contribute. Parents are encouraged to exercise their gifts and abilities as creatively as circumstances will allow.

A volunteer log book will be available to track and document volunteer efforts. Parents unable to commit their time will be expected to make a donation of $500.00 payable at the beginning of the school year, and parents will be billed for unfulfilled obligations near the end of the school year. Additional information is available in the Parent Handbook.
