Volunteer Opportunities

  • Parents are welcome to visit Martin Luther King, Jr., Junior High. When you come into our school we ask that you enter through the front door and sign in at the office, (even if you are just turning in your child’s homework or bringing lunch money). The office staff will give you a visitor’s pass. After you have finished your visit, please return to the office to check out. In case of an emergency, we must be accountable for everyone in the building. We want to make sure everyone is safe. Appointments must be made to conference with the Principal or your child’s teacher(s). Thank you for your cooperation.

    It is important that we develop a partnership that encourages each student to achieve to his or her highest ability. You have the opportunity to become involved this year by attending our monthly Parent Club meetings, ELAC meetings, School Site Council meetings, visiting your child’s classrooms, and through our many parent volunteer program opportunities. For more information on how you can assist, please contact our Parent Liaison, Ana Perez at (925) 473-2500 Ext 3519 or aperez@pittsburg.k12.ca.us

    Your support and involvement help to create students who are interested and enthusiastic about learning.

    ***IMPORTANT INFORMATION***

    • When you hear and observe things about students, families and staff while volunteering, it is imperative that you respect the confidentiality of that information. (Repeating a seemingly harmless comment can lead to misunderstandings and hurt feelings.) For schools to provide the best environment for learning, everyone’s privacy must be respected.
    • Volunteers function in a position of trust and the Pittsburg Unified School District does not extend that volunteer/student trust relationship outside of the supervised school environment. It is the responsibility of the volunteer to notify the site administrator immediately if he/she becomes involved with a student/family outside the PUSD environment.
    • Volunteers are not considered “mandated reporters” under California law, but volunteers should be aware of child abuse report requirements for school employees.
      • School personnel must report:
        • Cases of suspected infliction of physical or mental suffering on minor,
        • Cases of suspected physical injuries to minors by other than accidental means, and
        • Cases of suspected sexual molestation.
    If you become aware of suspected child abuse, report your observations to your supervising teacher or site administrator.
