Dear MDE Families,
As we look ahead to next school year, the Parent Faculty Club (PFC) has some open positions – both on the Executive Board and in our committees. The PFC helps make so many of the experiences our kids love possible – and we need volunteers to help continue to make them happen. MDE is such a special school because of the strong parent community behind it, and that only continues with support from families like yours. So grab a friend and come check us out - and make some new friends along the way!.
Many of these roles aren’t overwhelming time commitments, but they are incredibly meaningful. Whether you enjoy organizing, planning events, or helping behind the scenes, there’s a place for you. See something you might be interested but don’t want to do the role alone? Let us know - any role can be shared!
Even if you’re just a little curious, we’d love to connect and help you find the right fit.
📩 Reach out anytime to our Parliamentarian, brian.jenney@mdepfc.org
✨ Open Executive Board Positions - these positions require a vote. Voting will be done at the May 12th PFC meeting.
These leadership roles help guide and support everything the PFC does. Attending monthly Board meetings is a requirement in order to serve on the Board.
- Parliamentarian – Helps ensure we’re following bylaws, oversees the election process, and keeps our structure running smoothly
- Co-VP of Operations (x2) – We are looking for two people to fill this position together as Co-VPs to support the behind-the-scenes needs of the school, including room parents, staff appreciation, yearbook, and more.
- VP of Events – Oversees all school events (such as Fall Fest, dance, movie night, etc) and helps ensure everything runs smoothly. Note: this is a shared role and there is one board member in term.
- Co-Treasurer- Helps manage the PFC budget, tracks all expenses, handles deposits and payments and works with our CPA to file taxes.
🎉 Open Committee Chairs - these positions do not require a vote and involve a smaller time commitment than a Board Position:
Great for parents who want to get involved in a flexible, team-based way:
• Room Parent Coordinator – Lead our Team of amazing Room parents! You will help get them set up in the beginning of the year and then communicate throughout the year with room parents across all classrooms.
• Kindness Week Committee – Plans and brings to life this special week focused on inclusion and positivity
• Concerts in the Park – Help coordinate volunteers and donations during this fun community event & fundraiser (note: we share this opportunity with Diablo View Middle School)
• Ed Fund – Oversee the Education Fund plans for the year, one of our bigger fundraisers for the PFC.
• PAC (Parent Advisory Committee) – Represents the parent voice for MDE at district meetings and helps strengthen school-community connections. Attending a monthly meeting is a requirement for this role.
• 4th Grade Parent Committee – Organizes fundraising activities for our 4th grade families to cover or offset costs of 5th grade promotion activities.
No matter how you choose to get involved, you’re making a direct impact on our students, teachers, and school community - and we’re so grateful.
Thank you for considering being part of the PFC! Please reach out with any questions.
