Volunteer at Trailside Academy

Our Room Parent team provides classroom support for teachers,  including organizing teacher appreciation activities, 

assisting with admin tasks, planning parties and more. If you are interested in being a room parent, please fill out our interest form here.

Parents and Guardians staff our school library, because we don't have a librarian. The time commitment can be as little as 30 minutes once a week and it's a great way to visit your child at school! Send us an email at TrailsidePIE@gmail.com if you'd like to volunteer in the library.

 Help us plan and organize community and student events throughout the year
(Spring Bash, Movie Night, Multicultural Night, etc.)

Our first event is Mapleton Homecoming! Help us design a parade float and join us in the parade. Sign up here.

Our Sunshine Committee...

• Helps coordinate events for Teacher Appreciation Week (May 4-8)
• Participates in the Treat Trolley for teachers, which happens four times per year
• Helps organize, set up and clean up meals for teacher conferences.

Send us an email at TrailsidePIE@gmail.com if you'd like to join the Sunshine Committee. 

We’re looking for parents and guardians to help make recess extra fun! Come play with our students—help start a game of soccer or basketball, organize a round of freeze-tag, or bring sidewalk chalk for creative doodling. These are just a few ideas to get you started—feel free to bring your own creative spark! You can sign up for just one time slot or as many as you’d like. Try it out for a day, and if you enjoy it (we think you will!), consider signing up again. Sign up for Recess Games Here!

In 2023, Trailside got an amazing boost—a 21st Century Grant from the State of Colorado—to help run our after-school programs!. Vendor programs are great, but they’re pricey, and we want every student to have the chance to join in the fun. That’s where our awesome parents and community come in! We’d love to team up with you to offer even more clubs and activities for our kids. Email our amazing program coordinator, Kelly Dent, at dentk@mapleton.us if you’re interested!
