Registering as a Volunteer
Morning Creek uses a web based application called ‘PTO Manager’ to communicate with our volunteers and allow them to view and volunteer for upcoming events. Please go to www.mces.ptomanager.com to sign up. Contact Lisa Velazquez at lisa@jlvelazquez.com with any questions.
Visitations and Volunteers
Parents are always welcome and are encouraged to help in the classroom. Appointments should be scheduled with the teacher 24 hours in advance and generally last about an hour. If you want to talk to the teacher about your child, please make an appointment outside of school time. Teachers understandably need to be with their students immediately before, during and after class time.
IMPORTANT: All visitors to Morning Creek must sign in at the office and wear a Visitor or Volunteer badge while on campus!
Parents and members of the community are encouraged to become involved and volunteer at Morning Creek.
