Room Parents

Room parents play a key role in keeping families informed and supporting teachers with classroom activities. They act as a bridge between the teacher and parents, helping with communication, organizing volunteers, and coordinating special events.

How It Works

Room parent duties vary by teacher and can be shared among multiple parents. The key is staying in contact with the teacher and Room Parent Coordinator to ensure smooth communication and support.

Being a room parent is a great way to contribute to your child’s classroom and connect with other families. If you're interested, reach out to your classroom teacher at the beginning of the year.
