Volunteering

Our parent and community volunteers are the “Key” to our success! We truly have World Class Volunteers who Go the Extra Mile at Huffman! We appreciate all the volunteer hours committed to our school and PTA programs.

Volunteer Opportunities at Huffman
Volunteering is a great way to make a difference in your child's school life while meeting other marvelous Huffman parents. The opportunities are rewarding, fun and varied. There is an opportunity for everyone to help--in the school, after school, even on the weekends. Many of the jobs are flexible and can be done when you have the time. Every little bit helps!

How to Volunteer
To volunteer at school, you must first complete a criminal background check at the PISD Volunteer Website each year (after July 1). A notarized form is no longer required.  Then email Jane Choppin at volunteers @ huffmanpta.org to let her know how you would like to volunteer (see ideas below).
