volunteering
The success of our
school is reliant on parents and members being actively involved.
Parents are urged to support their children in the endeavor of learning
German and should review the teaching materials to ensure that
assignments are completed. The school cannot be effective as an
educational institution without the active support and involvement of
parents.

Parents of enrolled
children are expected to help e.g. with yard supervision, manning the
snack shop during break times, before, during and/or after events,
baking cakes for sale, photography, writing articles for the school
newsletter, just to name a few.
SBDS Volunteer Job
Descriptions
We ask parents to do 3 hours of volunteering per semester. A
sign-up sheet is available in the office and online*. Parents can also
choose not to volunteer and opt-out by paying $60 instead.
All parents and members are also expected to join our Open House and
General Membership Meetings held once per semester. During these
meetings we will discuss the state of the school and decide further
activities. Elections for the Board of Directors are held during the
Fall Semester Parent Morning meeting.
Please feel free to stay during school hours, drink coffee, have cake,
relax, read the German paper, and chat with other parents in the snack
room. This helps to build a stronger school community and is an easy
way to keep current on our activities.
