CPS has a new online process that all volunteers must complete. Please visit cpsvolunteers.org to begin your application. 

We love our volunteers at Burley, and our school would just not be the same without you! CPS has a new volunteer application process. If you plan on volunteering at Burley this school year (chaperoning a field trip, helping at an event like Fall Fun Fair or Book Bash, volunteering in a classroom, etc.) you must complete the CPS volunteer application online. It takes less than 5 minutes!

Step 1:
Visit cpsvolunteers.org and click the "Complete a Volunteer Application" button.

Step 2:
Fill out the application. You will be asked if you are applying as a Level I or Level II volunteer. Most Burley parents will be Level II volunteers.

Step 3:
You will receive a confirmation email that CPS received your application.

Step 4:
Bring your driver's license or state issued ID to Burley before or after school (7:30 to 5:30 pm) so the office staff can make a copy. Once this step is completed, Burley can approve you as a volunteer.

We are asking all parents (and caregivers if they plan to volunteer) to complete this process so you can be ready should a volunteer opportunity arise.

PLEASE NOTE: In order to volunteer for the upcoming Fall Fun Fair, you must complete this process.

Curriculum Night Schedule

5:30-6:00pm
Specials Teachers, Diverse Learners, Explore the Building
Feel free to explore the building or visit our Specials classrooms (STEAM, Art, Physical Education and Technology) and the Diverse Learners classrooms. These classrooms will be open and the teachers will be available to talk with you about their curriculum and goals for the year. Say hello to Ms. Plocher, Ms. Nash and Mr. Urbina who will be around the building throughout the evening. Diverse Learners and Specials classrooms will remain open for all three sessions. 

6:00-6:30pm
Pre-K through 8th Grade Homeroom Presentations
Pre-K through 8th grade homerooms will open starting at 6:00pm. Visit your child's classroom, meet their teachers and attend a presentation on what your child will be learning this school year and how you can support your students at home. There will be a limited time at the end of the half hour session for a short question and answer session.

6:30-7:00pm
Repeated Pre-K through 8th Grade Homeroom Presentations
Teachers will be repeating their previous presentation for parents who have more than one child at Burley. If you wish, consider visiting another Specials or Diverse Learner teacher.

Please remember - children are encouraged not to attend Curriculum Night. This event is designed for parents only.

Due to repairs to our school building, we will not have Early Bird Day on August 30 as originally scheduled. Please send school supplies with your child during the first week of school. Feel free to send them over the course of several days if carrying supplies independently will be difficult for your child. You need not assist your children in carrying all supplies to school the first day.

We are offering two alternate times for completing school forms and paying fees:

• Thursday, September 6 from 4:00-7:00 p.m. in the lunchroom (the same evening as the Ice Cream Social, which will be on the playground from 6:00-7:00 p.m.)
• Saturday, September 8 from 10:00-2:00 p.m. in the lunchroom 

All families must submit:

• Family & Emergency Contact Form (online)
• The CPS Media Release form (print and sign, or sign at Early Bird) 
• The CPS Family Income form (print and sign, or sign at Early Bird. CPS requires all families to complete this form, including those not applying for assistance.)

Please visit the school calendar for other important dates, and keep an eye on your email for ongoing parent updates as we prepare for another wonderful year of learning and friendship. As always, we are grateful for the support, flexibility, and understanding of our families.
