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).

If you have any questions, please contact our volunteer team.

With no bulk supply program to help us collect for Waters families in need this year, the Circle of Help put together a list of supply kits needed by grade. Please sign up on this Google doc, purchase, box up and label your supply kit with the relevant grade, and bring to the Waters office on Teacher Meet & Greet Day on Friday, August 30, 8:15-8:45 a.m. Thank you for your help – you will ease a lot of back-to-school stress for families in need. Any questions? Contact Karen Nevotti.
