As we look ahead at the next school year, SECO is looking for volunteers who are interested in joining our team as a board and/or committee member for the 2025/2026 school year.
Without volunteers in these positions, it would not be possible to run many of our programs and events. If interested in learning more about open positions, please complete this interest form and someone from SECO will reach out to you with more information.
VOLUNTEER INTEREST - AFTER SCHOOL CHESS CLUB

We have received some parent interest in forming an after school chess club for the 2025/2026 school year. We are reaching out to find parents and community members who are willing to volunteer their time to help assist with, organize and run the club. Please note that a club has not been created, we are looking to determine if enough volunteer support is available to move forward.
If you are interested in volunteering to help assist and/or organize the chess club, please complete the form here. If you have any questions, please email seco@satocommunity.org.
INTERESTED IN STARTING A NEW PROGRAM OR AFTER SCHOOL CLUB?
SECO is currently collecting information for volunteers who are interested in forming a new program or after school club at Sato for the 2025/2026 school year. If you are interested in initiating and helping to run a new program/club, please complete the form here. Once a form has been submitted, a SECO representative will reach out to talk to you about the next steps.
FIELD DAY VOLUNTEERS
We are already in March, and before we realize it, it will be time for Field Day. While the date and volunteer needs will be finalized next month, we wanted to put this on your radar. Families looking forward to volunteering for Field Day should ensure they have their volunteer applications in and background check completed through Raptor prior to the day of the event.
