Room Parents
A room parent is like a teacher’s magical sidekick, helping out wherever he or she needs. As a room parent, you will act as a liaison between the teacher and parents to help facilitate communication and ensure the school year is as organized and as much fun as possible. Thank you for volunteering your valuable time and congratulations on becoming a room parent! We know you will look back on this year with fond memories.
