Volunteers are always welcome :) AND are always appreciated!!!! It can be as simple as helping out with one event or picking and choosing as many as you'd like. Maybe you want to bring juice boxes or a baked good to an event, take a shift helping at the book fair, or work at the Holiday Shoppe? There are so many ways to join in and help your child enjoy his/her school. Volunteering at a PTO event is a great way to become part of the AES community and it's a fun and easy way to let your child know school matters. Interested in chairing an event? Event chairs are responsible for planning and coordinating an event. They work with volunteers, teachers, and PTO board members in running activities and events. The PTO board is more than happy to help parents who are interested in chairing an event get started on how to do it.

CORI - It is district policy that ALL volunteers at PTO events MUST HAVE a current CORI on file with the school (outside agency CORI’s are not accepted, and CORI’s are specific to each school in the district). CORI’s are valid for 3 yrs. Please see the Main Office with a valid ID to complete paperwork if you would like to volunteer for PTO events. NOTE: the turn-around time on CORI approvals is managed by the state of MA and not the district and thus may vary, so please plan accordingly if you plan to volunteer for an event.
Fingerprinting - Fingerprinting does NOT expire and is valid for every school in the FreeLake District. Visit www.Identogo.com/FP/Massachusetts.aspx to schedule an appointment. Our school code is 06650000. Cost is $35.
