We invite caring adults to volunteer their time and talents to support our students in meaningful ways. All mentors will be subject to required background checks, and parent/guardian permission will be obtained before students and mentors are partnered together.

To learn more or fill out a form to volunteer, please use this link:

FYI Families of 5th graders! Florence Chapel is hosting an Elective Showcase for rising sixth graders and their parents on Jan 28th from 5:15-6:30. The program starts with a brief introduction to success in middle school, and then becomes an open house where you can tour their exploratory offerings prior to registration, which occurs at each student's home schools. This is not a required event, but can be helpful for parents who want to know more about what electives are available prior to student registration.
