Volunteer
“Volunteer 5 Times”
Eagle Ridge Academy views parents and students as integral contributors and active participants in our school. The Academy is most successful when parents and students work together with the teachers and staff to create and sustain the best possible learning environment.
“I can no other answer make, but, thanks, and thanks.” ~ William Shakespeare
ERA Volunteer Day – Last Wednesday of the Month

These efforts will support our teachers, classrooms, and students by performing tasks that build a stronger Eagle Ridge Academy. Check in at the Main Office and meet us in the Forum.

academic achievement, we also ask every Eagle Ridge Academy family to “Give Us 5” with
a pledge to volunteer five times throughout the school year.
All volunteers are required to do the following before volunteering with students:
- Complete a background check. In order to volunteer to work with students K-12, you will need to complete a background check.
