Ankeny Community School District

Please sign up to show your interest in attending and volunteering at a class party this year! Volunteers will organize crafts, activities, and games for students to enjoy at this year's three class parties. A snack is provided for students by Nutrition Services and Westwood PTO.

• Fall Party - October 11, 2024
• Winter Party - December 20, 2024
• Friendship Party - February 14, 2025

Each party will be hosted by the homeroom parent(s) and five randomly assigned volunteers. Once a volunteer has been assigned, the activity will show up on their Better Impact "Schedule" and will receive an email confirming their assignment to the party. (Check spam folders for the confirmation email!)

A photo ID is required to enter the building, please ensure your photo ID is on file so a visitor badge can be pre-printed for you. Be prepared to show your ID on the day of the party.

If you do not see a specific class party, volunteers have already been assigned.

Support student learning and exploration during the 2nd Grade Field Trip to Blank Park Zoo.

The 5th graders will enjoy some real world experience at BizTown. There are several volunteer opportunities available, some are in preparation for going to BizTown and some are at the BizTown event. 

Please sign up to show your interest in attending the 5th Grade field trip. Teachers will randomly draw names to be assigned to the field trip. An email confirmation will be sent via the Better Impact portal, so please watch your SPAM folders!

After volunteers have been assigned, the volunteer opportunity will show up on the schedule tab of your Better Impact portal.

Any volunteer opportunity that will benefit a specific classroom at Westwood.

Are you a chess master? Could you craft circles around Martha Stewart? Do you have a hobby that you would love to share with students?

We are seeking enthusiastic volunteers to help and/or lead student clubs at Westwood Elementary! If you have a passion or skill you'd like to share with our students, this is a great opportunity to make a positive impact. Whether it’s art, science, gardening, sports, or any other interest, your leadership can inspire and engage students during our school day clubs.
