Get Involved in the District

Part of what makes our district successful is an active and involved community of parents. We have several organizations that offer our parents a way to meet other parents and become involved in their student’s activities. Some of the most popular are the Norwalk PTO, Student Education FoundationNorwalk Music Boosters, and Norwalk Athletic Boosters. We encourage all our new families to contact those organizations to see if there are ways to volunteer and and play an active role.

There are rules and safety precautions in place in all our buildings in accordance with Iowa and Federal laws. If you would like to volunteer, please contact the appropriate building for more information.
