Parent Volunteers
The North Andover Middle School PTAC appreciates its parent volunteers; they are considered its most valuable resource. Parents are welcome and encouraged to assist with various enrichment programs, extracurricular activities and celebrations. Volunteer sign-up sheets are available to parents during Move-Up Night in the spring and Open Houses in the fall. Additionally, a request for volunteers is often sought by committee chairs prior to events.
