Pitch In or Chip In – Supporting Our School Together!


We’re excited to launch a simple way for families to support our PAC initiatives this year. Every family has two ways to give back:

Pitch In – Commit to 10 volunteer hours during the school year (help with events, fundraisers, hot lunch, classroom support, etc.)
Chip In – Prefer to give financially instead? Contribute $100* per family to help fund the many programs and extras our PAC provides.

Your time, talents, or contributions directly enrich our kids’ school experience — from community events to classroom enhancements and so much more. Please choose the option that works best for your family, and let’s make this another amazing year for our students!

PAC Executive Role – Secretary

We’re looking for a parent volunteer to step into the PAC Executive Secretary role for the next school year (2026/27). This is a great opportunity to get involved, stay informed, and support the PAC behind the scenes. The incoming Secretary would work closely with our current Secretary this year to ensure a smooth transition before taking on the role in September.

The Secretary plays a key role by recording meeting minutes, helping maintain PAC records and governing documents, and supporting communication and organization across the PAC. The role involves attending PAC meetings and helping keep records organized and accessible. The time commitment is approximately one hour per week.

If you’re organized, enjoy writing, and would like to contribute to the PAC in a meaningful way, we’d love to hear from you. Please reach out to chair@ecolepjpac.com to learn more or to express your interest.

PAC Executive Role – Communications Coordinator

We’re looking for a parent volunteer to step into the PAC Executive Communications role for the next school year (2026/27). This is a great opportunity to get involved, stay informed, and support the PAC behind the scenes. The incoming Communications Coordinator would work closely with our current Communications Coordinator this year to ensure a smooth transition before taking on the role in September.

The Communications Coordinator helps keep parents informed and engaged by sharing PAC updates, meeting information, and school events through the e-bulletin and approved social media channels. This role also maintains and updates the PAC website. If you have experience with WordPress, that would be a great benefit. The time commitment is approximately 2 hours per week.

If you’re organized, enjoy writing, and would like to contribute to the PAC in a meaningful way, we’d love to hear from you. Please reach out to chair@ecolepjpac.com to learn more or to express your interest.
