Parent Volunteers
At Bishop Baraga, parent involvement is at the heart of our educational community. When families join our school, they become part of a tradition of active parent participation that strengthens both student success and our school family. Research consistently shows that parent involvement enhances academic achievement, while also fostering the family atmosphere that makes our school special. We are deeply grateful to all our parents who generously share their time and talents to enrich the Bishop Baraga experience.
To maintain our high-quality programs and supportive environment, we rely on parent participation. All families are asked to volunteer in some capacity throughout the school year.
Our families contribute in many meaningful ways: assisting teachers with classroom projects, coordinating special celebrations, supporting our annual Spaghetti Dinner, maintaining our library and uniform shop, and serving on important boards and committees. Whatever your availability or interests, we have opportunities that will fit your schedule and help you connect with our school community.
To inquire about volunteer opportunities and learn more about parent volunteer hours, please email or call the front office.
