Looking for PIQE volunteers

admin News

Dear parents,

Brookvale is participating in PIQE (Parent Institute for Quality Education) program, starting on January 18th. The school is providing childcare for parents participating in the program, and is looking for at least 1-2 parent volunteers for each meeting.

Mrs. Hicks-Rodriguez will be asking for 3-4 students from American High School to provide childcare and play games with kids while parents are in the workshops. The parent volunteers would be there only to supervise the high school students.

Volunteers are needed on Wednesday evenings from 6pm to 8pm during the months of January through mid-March 15th. Final dates TBD.

If you can help out, please email Mrs. Hicks-Rodriguez at chicks-rodriguez@fremont.k12.ca.us. Thank you!
