Getting Involved
PM Wells Charter Academy requires families to volunteer 20 hours of their time during the school year. They have many opportunities to volunteer their time at school. This may include working in the classrooms; assisting with fundraisers and special events; attending workshops and PTC meetings; helping in the cafeteria and library media center; participating on a field trip; and purchasing items for the classroom or school.
Parents are required to log the volunteer hours in the volunteer binders in the main offices and enter anytime in SIS and OASIS. All OASIS applications must be filled out online at www.osceola.k12.fl.us. Click on parent resources and then volunteer opportunities. This must be done before you volunteer.
Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)
PMWCA PTO coordinates the fundraisers and family events at the school. Some events include book fairs, family movie night and the spring festivals. They do require volunteers to help make these events a success. PTO also holds several fundraisers throughout the year to earn extra money for the teachers and classrooms so that they may have the opportunity to get items that they normally would not receive and some fundraisers give students the chance to reduce the cost of their yearly field trips. The PTO is a great forum for any parent that wants to be involved in their child's education and help raise money for the "little extras". Volunteer hours can also be meet by attending the meeting once a month.

Volunteer Info
Volunteers are needed every day at PM Wells Charter Academy in both the elementary and middle school locations. Please ask your child's teacher about opportunities he/she has for you OR come by our office. We will always find someplace where your skills will benefit the teachers and students of our school.
Parents are required to log in their own volunteer hours on SIS and OASIS. Remember to check 'completed' once you have finished volunteering in the capacity you have submitted approval for.
