Room Parents

Room parents are the primary liaison between your child’s teacher, the classroom families, and the PTA.

​

As a room parent, your job is to assist the teacher in sharing important news and info from the teacher and PTA and to organize selected classroom events.

People who check their email frequently are best suited for this position since it sometimes requires forwarding messages in a time-sensitive manner.

​

Room Parent responsibilities include:
 

• Communicating class and school news to class families

• Organizing volunteer help for school events and special projects in the classroom

• Collecting funds for school/class activities

• Coordinating events, including Field Day, Winter Holiday Party, Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week, and more

​
