There are many opportunities for parents and guardians to get involved in their child’s education at S.M. Rissler Elementary. The PTO is very active in our school building and always looking for school volunteers. Our Title 1 department coordinates parent involvement activities throughout the school year for parents and students to engage in educational activities together. We also welcome all parents and guardians to come eat lunch with their child or volunteer to be a lunch buddy or reading buddy for another student. Parents are always welcome to volunteer as a classroom reader in their child’s room. Please contact your child’s teacher to identify ways you can get involved!
