Welcome to Monte Verde Elementary Volunteers!

Families play a vital role in supporting student success and building a strong school community. Whether you’re helping in the classroom, joining a parent organization, or chaperoning a field trip, your time and involvement make a meaningful difference in the lives of our students.

Get Involved at Monte Verde Elementary

Research shows students thrive when families are involved both at home and at school. That’s why Monte Verde Elementary values family and community participation—volunteers are always welcome! You can support our school by joining the PTA, serving as a classroom parent, or chaperoning field trips.

Classroom Parents

English Learners Advisory Committee (ELAC)

The ELAC advises the principal, SSC, and school staff on programs and services for English Language Learner (ELL) students by helping to develop the ELL section of the school’s School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), distributing and tabulating a needs assessment survey, and informing parents of the annual statewide language census.

Consequently, ELAC members often consist of parents of ELL students.

Parent Teacher Association (PTA)

The Monte Verde Parent Teacher Association (PTA) organizes book fairs, school fundraisers, and other events and even funds various educational programs.

It helps parents stay up to date on developments at school and provides parents with a means to suggest changes to improve their school and community.

The PTA also provides information on ways parents can support their child’s education and allows parents to hone their skills and talents in service to that cause.

More importantly, the PTA connects parents with other families and helps build a sense of community.

To get involved, contact Juanita Flores at 650-877-3955 or by email.

School Site Council (SSC)

The SSC is responsible for the development and approval of the SPSA and the school site budget in seven areas:

Implementation of a Standards-Based Instructional Program
Establishing and Monitoring Systems of Assessment and Evaluation
English Language Learners
Special Education
Equity
Interventions
Parent and Community Engagement

This is accomplished by a review and analysis of student data, which helps to inform decisions about school improvement strategies and the allocation of resources in support of student achievement.
