Walk About:  A Great Way for Parents to Stay Connected in Middle School

What is Walk About?

The Walk About Program at Tyee is a PTSA-sponsored, school-supported, parent-staffed program that provides a positive and friendly adult presence on campus during high-traffic times (before school and lunch times). The additional adult presence encourages appropriate behavior allowing students to feel safe. It gives them an additional connection to a big part of their child’s day. It's fun, flexible and easy way to get involved.

  • Walk About receives great administrative support from teachers and staff. 
  • All are welcome to participate after completing a one-time training session and completing the required BSD Application online. 
  • It is a very popular program for working parents because of the times to volunteer. Sign up once a week, once a month, or whatever works with your schedule.

How to Volunteer WalkAbout

  • Parents who volunteer must be verified to be eligible volunteers per the BSD policy and have a valid background check on record. The time commitment is one lunch per month (however, volunteers are welcome to come as much as they desire). If you did not attend a prior training, you will need to meet with the WA coordinator via phone for a one on one training (20 min) and you can reach out at wab@tyeeptsa.org to schedule that.
    Once you complete training and are an eligible volunteer, please sign up!
