Genevieve will also match the donation to the school that raises the most, with another 10% of total proceeds raised for that school. Let's raise some money for Waters!  Calling all Waters parents, visit CPS Parent U to become a qualified CPS volunteer. It's easy! Getting approved takes just 3 simple steps. However, the overall approval process takes time within CPS, so don't wait, take the first step by signing up today. Once you complete this step, you'll receive an email from CPS asking you to show your ID in the Waters school office (step 2), after that, you'll receive another email from CPS indicating that you've been approved to chaperone on field trips and volunteer at Waters (step 3).
