Room Parents’ Corner
SIGN-UPS TAKEN UNTIL SEPTEMBER 12TH. Room Parents help the school year run smoothly for everyone. Ideally, we would like to have two volunteers from each class act as Co-Room Parents. The main responsibilities and requirements for this position are: maintain constant communication between teacher and parents; execute a written budget and operate with that budget; plan and coordinate classroom events/parties; recruit parent volunteers for various schoolwide activities; assist with fundraising projects, including classroom PTA membership and MBEF donations; attend a minimum of two PTA meetings during the year; have a positive attitude and a sense of humor! Please indicate your interest by September 12th by selecting the grade level link below. After September 12th the category of room parent will no longer accept entries. Room Parents will be selected by Back to School Night, September 13th. Thank you for stepping up to help your teacher, your class, and your school!
The following resources have been created to help inform and provide room parents with tools that can help you work more efficiently and effectively throughout the school year. Please email me with any questions or concerns. I am here to help!
