GET INVOLVED
Make a difference at Armstrong.
The APG is run by Armstrong parents and caregivers, and every family is welcome. Whether you have ten minutes, ideas to share, or want to take on a bigger role, your help shapes what our students experience every day.
WAYS TO GET INVOLVED
There’s a place for everyone in the APG.
Come to a meeting
We meet the first Thursday of every month at 7pm in the Armstrong Library and on Google Meet. Come to stay updated, ask questions, share ideas, or just listen. No commitment, no pressure, and all are welcome.
Volunteer
Help at an event, pitch in for an hour, or work behind the scenes. Kids are often welcome to tag along or help out too! Pick something that works for you and your family, and we’ll show you the ropes.
Share your ideas and talents
Love to design, plan, bake, build, organize, take photos? Have a fun idea or suggestion? Tell us! We’ll find a way to put it to work for our kids and are always open to new ideas.

VOLUNTEERING FAQS
Questions about volunteering? Start here.
I’ve never volunteered before. What would I be doing?
No experience needed! Most roles involve simple tasks like setting up, helping with activities, or cleaning up. We’ll provide details ahead of time and show you the ropes when you arrive.
I have a busy schedule. Can I still help?
Absolutely! Most shifts are just 1–2 hours, and many events take place during evenings and weekends. Even if you only have half an hour, we’d love your help! You can simply make a note of your availability when signing up.
Do I need to attend meetings or complete a background check?
No meetings required! If you have a student at Armstrong, you’re already part of the APG. Some roles involving students during the school day may require a CORI check through the school office. If that’s the case we’ll let you know.
Can I bring my kids?
For most family events, yes! We also welcome student helps for some roles. Just ask if you’re unsure.
How do I sign up? What if my plans change?
We share opportunities through ParentSquare, our website, and flyers, with sign-ups typically through SignUpGenius. If something comes up, we get it! Just let us know as soon as possible.
