There are lots of ways to volunteer: in the classroom, after school hours, for special events and field trips, run a committee, lead a fundraiser, production work for teachers, and much more.

2025-26 School Year -
Quick Start
Directory
Sign up for the school directory so you can connect with other families at Bonny Slope! This is the primary way to get contact information for play dates, birthday parties, coordinating for OBOB teams and other team sports, and building relationships.
โ
Teachers CANNOT pass on a message for you or give out other family's information to you.
โ
The directory will be available to our community on this website on a password protected page. The password will be shared with you by your child's teacher in ParentSquare.
โ
Take some time NOW to fill out contact information, with as little or as much detail as you want. The directory usually comes out at the end of October. The sooner we collect information, the sooner we can share it.

ParentSquare
ParentSquare is the primary communication tool for Bonny Slope.
You can communicate with your teachers, get classroom news and updates, find Paw Prints (the school newsletter) and the BSCO Bulletin (the BSCO newsletter), volunteer opportunities and sign-ups, and reminders for things like School Picture Day, school events, and much more.
โ
Download the app to stay on top of all of the things you will need to know! Make sure you have notifications turned ON.
Back to School Night
Back to School Night is a great opportunity to learn about your teacher and your student's curriculum for the year. This event is intended to be for parents only. If you want to attend and are unable to find childcare, that's okay to bring them. Try to leave the littles at home, if you are able.
โ
Parents will meet with teachers, or teacher groups for fourth and fifth grades, and get information about daily schedules, learning targets, and more. You can also find out more about the unique needs of your child's teacher here too.
Every classroom will need volunteers for:
-
Art Literacy
-
Class Parties
-
Production Support
-
Friday Folders
โ
Come find out they best way to support your teacher and student, beyond these opportunities.
