We just created a communication board at the front of the school today. We bought 8 12x12 pieces of cork board and covered them with cloth. Our k-5 school has upper level and lower level classes. On the board we put PTSO happenings, Upper Level Volunteers, lower level volunteers, Shout outs- Thank you, or words of encouragement to volunteers and teachers. We put an envelope with pieces of paper for teachers to use. The plan if teachers and staff will utilize the board is for them to put their volunteer needs on their section each week. We have tons of parents that want to help but don't know how..

Our PTO would like to implement a system to help teachers by having them fill out a form when they need help with tasks. Our visiion is be able to assist with grading papers, creating bulletin boards, or anything else the teachers may need. We would coordinate volunteers to help complete the tasks each week.

Does anyone have something similar in place at their school? If so would you be willing to share how yours works and any other helpful tips. Thanks!!
