CURRENT VOLUNTEER NEEDS
Volunteering with the PTA allows our community to continue to do the important work of supporting our teachers, our students, and all of Happy Valley Elementary! We need folks like you to help! There are always many ways to support from being hands-on at events to acting behind the scenes. The role that the PTA plays is vital to the school and the role you can play is vital to the PTA!

​
All volunteers need to complete a Background Check Application through Bellingham School District in order to volunteer in any capacity, including the classroom, as an enrichment chaperone, chaperoning a field trip, or supporting other school functions.
​
Applications must be renewed every two years. Update your info or check your status here!
