Coming soon
Volunteer survey & opportunity to sign up to be a
room rep (aka classroom parent or lead parent) for your child's class.
Room reps facilitate communication between the class parents, including reminders about upcoming events and volunteer opportunities. They also check-in periodically with their teacher regarding any needs for the class (volunteer help, supply donations, etc) and communicate this out to families as needed. Room reps may coordinate class get togethers, such as a class meetup at a park or spirit night for example. In the spring semester, room reps are reponsible for coordinating donations from the class and putting together a themed auction basket to be included in the annual Spring Fest Silent Auction. They also send reminders & teacher wishlists out to families for teacher birthdays, and communicate information from the PTA related to teacher appreciation week the first week of May.
