TIME WITH TEACHER RAFFLE

AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
There are a number of after school classes available for our Deer Run students, including art, robotics, fashion, engineering, and drama - there is something for everyone! Visit this link for registration information!

PTO COMMITTEE VOLUNTEERS
There are a number of ways to get involved at Deer Run! Check out all of our open committee positions here: PTO Board and Committee Sign Up Genius
Considering signing up but want more information? Please don't hesitate to contact us at dreptoboard@gmail.com.
CURRENT VOLUNTEERS: Be sure to double check the expiration date on your volunteer card. You cannot "renew" your card and instead must complete the background check process again before it expires. Thank you for attending to this well in advance of your volunteering date.
PTO HELPING HANDS
Are you willing to help the PTO on events throughout the year? "PTO Helping Hands" is a great way to get involved without making a long term commitment. If we are running short on volunteers for an event or have a small ask here or there, we will reach out to this list. Please sign up at the link below!
CLUSTER PHOTO PAGES
Attention photographers, amateur or otherwise! 😉 We have "Cluster" pages set up for each class and we would appreciate your help in collecting photos of school events and class parties that can be used for the yearbook and our PTO communications. Please upload your photos to the appropriate pages. Thank you!
