Room Parents

Room Parents are parent volunteers who help with overall communication and teacher support. Responsibilities include:

• Helping with communication to families by forwarding emails from the PTO Room Parent Coordinator.

• Encouraging parents to attend PTO Meetings and volunteer with the PTO.

• Checking in with teacher(s) periodically about classroom needs or help.

• Communicating and coordinating classroom supply requests from the teacher(s).

• Assisting teachers as needed in recruiting volunteers for field trips, in-class activities, etc.

• Coordinating class gifts for teachers and paraprofessionals before winter break and at the end of the year. Remember, gifts are from the whole class or grade (middle school) whether or not all families contribute.

• Coordinating class meetups for students and/or parents by class or grade through the year.

Each class typically has one or two room parents.
