Parent Volunteers

Audubon welcomes parents’ involvement and input in many aspects of the school environment and educational process. Here, parents with a great diversity of talents, interests and schedules are coming together to work with the teaching staff and administration to participate in events, initiatives or organizations that are so critical to the success of the school and to help make Audubon into a progressive, dynamic, rich learning environment.

And we are always welcoming new parent volunteers into our committees, meetings, events and classrooms. Volunteer opportunities can accommodate full-time or part-time working parents or stay-at-home parents. Parents who plan to volunteer in the school for more than five hours a week will be required to undergo a background check. Below are some recent initiatives at Audubon for which we invite all parents to participate. Please follow the links for additional information.

APTP

The Audubon Parent Teacher Partnership was organized in 2006 on the premise that more involved parents results in more accountable students.

Friends of Audubon

Friends of Audubon is a parent-run, non-profit organization that was formed in 2006 to create, market and manage fundraising events and activities to fulfill the school’s fundraising needs as identified by the administration.

Audubon Explorers After School Program

Audubon Explorers After School operates a variety of academic, cultural and athletic classes for Audubon students. Opportunities exist for parent volunteers and community members to assist with these classes. If you have a particular skill, interest or activity you’d like to share with the Audubon Explorers and you are available to volunteer weekday afternoons, email rovershiner@cps.k12.il.us or read more about the existing after school program.
