Room Parents (both women or men) serve as the critical {magical} liaison between the teacher and class parents. Depending on teacher preferences–your duties may include:
- Coordinating classroom guest readers, special study groups and volunteer schedules
- Planning class parties and events such as holiday performances, bulletin board decorating
- Organizing teacher gifts and recognitions throughout the year
- Communicating about and assisting with classroom, grade-level and school-wide events
That may seem like a lot – but have no fear! You don’t need to do it all yourself! The trick to being a Room Parent is to D E L E G A T E and get lots of help! Most parents WANT to help in their child’s class – even busy parents. Just ASK!
