The Bernazzani PTO is powered entirely by volunteers—and every helping hand makes a difference! Whether you have a lot of time or just a little, there are many meaningful ways to get involved.
Opportunities vary in visibility and commitment—some roles are more active and hands-on, while others are behind-the-scenes and flexible. No matter the size of your contribution, your involvement is valued and you're always encouraged to join our monthly meetings to stay up to date, share your ideas, and stay connected with the Bernazzani School community.

All parents/guardians who wish to volunteer or chaperone at school activities that include the potential for unmonitored contact with a student other than their child are required to complete Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI), Statewide Applicant Fingerprint Identification Services (SAFIS), CORI, and Sex Offender Registry Information (SORI) checks before volunteering in the Quincy Public Schools.
Examples of activities that require SAFIS/CORI/SORI checks include but are not limited to:
Volunteering at school book fairs
Chaperoning field trips
Volunteering at field day activities
Volunteering at school end-of-the-year activities
Chaperoning movie nights
Volunteers should assume any activity involving students will require a background check. Please contact your school principal for more information regarding the SAFIS, CORI, and SORI requirements for a specific event and refer to the Parent/Guardian Volunteering Information on the Quincy Public Schools website for additional information.
Our PTO operates independently and does not belong to any national organization that requires membership fees. This means 100% of the donations we receive go directly toward supporting programs and resources for our students.
Your contributions help us:
Enrich student learning through special programs and activities
Strengthen the connection between families and the school,
Host fun, community-building events throughout the year, and
Provide teachers with essential supplies and tools for the classroom.
All of this is done with one goal in mind: creating the best possible school experience for our children.

PASSIVE FUNDRAISING
There is a textile bin in the back of the Bernazzani Parking lot. Please drop off items during non-school hours. The School Box Program is to spread awareness to the problem of unwanted textiles, educate on acceptable items for textile recycling/reuse, while generating much-needed revenue for the school communities. There is no cost to the program and Bay State Textiles handles all of the logistics to the program.
