​Thank you for making the commitment to help make our school the best place for teachers to teach and students to learn! We are glad you are here and hope that you will find your experience a rewarding one! The information contained on this page will provide you with tips and guidelines for your time in our school as room parent. Room Parents are selected early in the Fall by the PTO. Room Parent sign-up happens at curriculum night. 

Room Parent​s' Job

  1. Serve as a link between teacher and class parents
  2. Distribute emails to parents for help and assistance with class parties. 
  3. Coordinate the Halloween, Winter Holiday, Valentine & Last Day of school parties. 
  4. Create and assemble a class raffle basket for the Fun Fair. Each child chips in to help with the cost of the raffle items.
​

Starting Points

  1. No outside food of any kind will be allowed in the class or goodie bags. 
  2. PTO will arrange snacks for all class parties. 
  3. Three (3) parents MAX are allowed for each class party, including the room parent. Kids love to see different faces so rotate to keep them HAPPY!
  4. Many parents will sign up for the class parties. We request you rotate in different parents. This will include you attending ONLY ONE class party. This ensures everyone has a chance to volunteer.  
  5. Online website, SignupGenius is a great way to invite parents to participate and stay in touch in real time. Its Free! 
  6. Fearlessly recruit other parents to buy supplies if they can't find time to be at the actual party. 
  7. No balloons of any kind allowed in the school. (Latex Allergies)

School Guidelines​

If you promise to be here on a certain day and time, please don’t let us down. We really do need you!
  1. Always sign-in with the front office. Don't forget you must have your State ID or Driver's License with you.
  2. Always wear your volunteer tag. We require our staff to challenge anyone who is not a staff member and/or who is not properly identified.
  3. If you see or hear students do or say things that are obviously inappropriate, let a teacher or administrator know who the students are and what they did. Please do not attempt to correct the problem yourself!
  4. If you are volunteering to work in the classroom, make sure your presence is as unobtrusive as possible. Teachers need help, but a volunteer who doesn’t follow directions becomes an added burden rather than a support.
  5. There will be times you need to contact other parents for help. For example, you may need to send emails to the parents in your class to request donations. When sending emails to a group, please use the BCC field to protect confidentiality, AND always include the teacher.
  6. Have a good time! A school filled with happy volunteers is a better place to teach and learn.
