What is Spelling Bee?

 Rosa Parks PTSA presents its first Spelling Bee enrichment program this year 2021-2022. Rosa Parks has enrolled in the Scripps National Spelling Bee, which is one of the nation’s oldest popular competitions with the purpose to help students improve their spelling, increase their vocabularies, learn concepts, and develop correct English usage that will help them all their lives.

Who can participate?

Registration is open to all students from Grade 1 through Grade 5 of elementary school until December 10th.

Do you have some time to spare during school hours? Rosa Parks is seeking volunteers to decorate bulletin boards and display student art work on bulletin boards in common learning areas. Volunteers must be LWSD approved and have their COVID-19 vaccination status filed with the district. Masking and social distancing will apply on school property. Please find more information and the signup here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/409094AAFAF2FA7F85-bulletin.

Do you enjoy playing board games and sharing a joy of STEM with kids?  PTSA is looking for parent volunteers to help out with our amazing Math Adventures/STEM program with your kid’s class.  Working with our amazing teachers, we donate 1-2 hrs a month to play STEM related games with our students.  There are many roles you can fulfill from being a classroom STEM coordinator to volunteering your time to play games with the kids.  No experience is necessary and everything you need is right on campus.  If you are interested in volunteering for STEM, please contact STEM@ROSAPARKSPTSA.ORG with your name and kid’s teacher.  You do need to be an approved volunteer with your vaccination status on record.  If you want to check your volunteer status (needs to be renewed every two years), start a new application, or get your vaccination status on record please go to https://www.lwsd.org/get-involved/volunteering-in-lwsd .    

Rosa Parks is happy to welcome our volunteers back into our school. At this time, volunteers are allowed in the building, but not in the classrooms or shared learning spaces. 

LWSD is following Governor Inslee’s vaccination mandate regarding K-12 volunteers. As of October 18, volunteers in our schools will have to be vaccinated. There are now two ways for volunteers to show proof of vaccination. These will be available until at least Oct. 18: In-person and Remote through Microsoft Teams. Visit this link to learn more.

As a reminder, all volunteers will need to be an approved LWSD volunteer, follow the current masking and physical distancing requirements, and sign in at the school office. 

If you have any questions about your approval status, please contact Chris Robison. If you’ve let your volunteer approval status lapse or you need to apply for the first time, please fill out the online application.
