Room Parents are the primary communication between teachers and the families of the students in each classroom. Throughout the year, class parents work with teachers to coordinate class celebrations like the Halloween Party, a Holiday Party and Valentine’s Day celebrations. In addition, Room Parents also coordinate with the class families on holiday and end-of-the-year teacher gifts, special projects for Teacher Appreciation Week and assists with the class field trip as a chaperone and the school wide Play Day event.


Good News: Parents will be able to come back into the classroom to assist with the class celebrations.


There will be two (2) Room Parents per class. If you have more than one child, you may request to be a room parent for each child. However, you will only be chosen for one class. Please note that if there are more than two Room Parent requests in any given class, Room Parents will be selected at random.
