South Side Elementary

Our Volunteers

South Side Elementary School offers a variety of volunteer opportunities during the school day --- from tutoring individual students to assisting teachers with special projects and school-wide events. Volunteers are needed in grades K-5 and in all subject areas. Many of our volunteers enjoy reading with students, helping with writing assignments, and/or tutoring in math. Occasionally volunteers are requested for assistance with after-school activities and clubs. Please consider becoming a member of the South Side school community as a volunteer and make a difference!
