Volunteer Opportunities
Our volunteers work to build a thriving school community and raise funds to support our children's education. There are multiple ways to get involved, many requiring very little time. Below we've outlined some of our volunteer needs for the 2024–2025 school year. For specific events, SignUpGenius links will be sent out via the weekly the newsletter and classroom emails.
Getting involved is easy! Just let us know what you're interested in doing by contacting the event coordinator (listed below).
2025-2026 Update Coming Soon
Memory Book Volunteers
Every year our PTA works with Ocean View staff to put together a memory book for Ocean View students and faculty. We are in need of parent volunteers to help our Memory Book Coordinator create this book. We need parents who are willing to help design page spreads, make flyers to advertise the book, and help sell the book at the end of the year. It's a fun and rewarding project, and it is a wonderful gift for our students. For more information, please contact Bridgette Banales at bbanales@ausdk12.org.

Otter Pop Volunteers (Wednesdays, 1:20 - 2:20)
We need a group of volunteers to help run a student favorite: Otter Pop Wednesdays! Time commitment: 1:20–2:20pm, Wednesdays, at Ocean View Elementary School. It's a great way to raise money for Ocean View, get to know people in our community, and do something for the students that they love. Please contact the Otter Pop coordinator, Sharon Pipkin (spipkin@outlook.com), to volunteer.
Room Parent Volunteers
Room parents are the main line of communication between their classroom’s parents/guardians and the Ocean View PTA. Primarily, this position involves sending out emails to the class a few times a month, and organizing class gifts before the holidays and at the end of the year. We need one room parent per classroom. For more information, please contact president@oceanview-pta.org
Sing-Along Volunteers (Wednesday 8:30-10:30)
Do you play an instrument? We would love to have you join our Sing-Along leader Marilyn Merlino at our school sing-along assemblies! You are welcome to join for as many dates as you are available! For more information, please contact Ms Merlino at marilynmerlino@sbcglobal.net

Our fabulous and hard working librarian is looking for volunteers who have an hour a week to spend in the library helping students check out books and restocking shelves. For more information, please contact Michelle Millard-Naylor at mmillard-naylor@ausdk12.org
Fall Festival (October)
Ocean View's biggest fundraiser of the year is the Fall Festival and Walk-a-thon. It includes carnival games, arts and crafts, a pumpkin patch, a bouncy house, and more! It also requires a large group of volunteers to make it happen. Please watch for the SignUpGenius going out in late September.
