VPE is excited to welcome volunteers into our school community! Volunteers play an important role in supporting our students, staff, and programs, and we are grateful for the time and talents our families share with us.
To volunteer at VPE, all individuals must complete the APS volunteer application and background check process and be approved through Aurora Public Schools before participating in any volunteer activities. This school year the process is different. Please complete the google form if you are interested in volunteering!

WATCH D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students)
Calling all dads, grandfathers, uncles, guardians, and positive male role models! We encourage you to get involved at VPE, especially during recess. Positive male role models help create a supportive school environment and provide valuable mentorship opportunities for students.
If you enjoy being active, consider helping organize and supervise safe, fun games during recess. No special experience is required—just a willingness to engage with students and have fun!

Assist in the library by shelving books, helping students find and check out books, and occasionally reading to younger students during story time.
Lunch & Recess Support
Help supervise students during lunch and recess, ensuring they have a safe, positive, and enjoyable experience.
Classroom Support
Work alongside teachers by assisting with small-group activities, organizing Friday folders, preparing materials, and supporting classroom projects.

Help make VPE events memorable for our students and families! Volunteers are needed throughout the year for activities such as the Book Fair, Holiday Fair, school dances, Fun Run, Field Day, the VPE BBQ, and many other special events.
