Room Parent Leads play an integral part in facilitating communication between teachers, parents and PTA during the school year. We ask for 1 or 2 parents to team up to be the central point of contact for the teacher and work with the other parents of students in the class to provide communication, ask for volunteers, and keep everyone informed of class activities. On behalf of all the teachers, we’d like to thank our Room Parent Leads in advance for taking the lead this year!

If you are interested in volunteering in your child's classroom, please reach out to the Room Parent or contact us at ambuehlpta@gmail.com.

ROOM PARENT VOLUNTEERS

Room Parent volunteers provide their time to assist the teacher with class activities, sorting papers, library time, helping students, and any other opportunities that the Teacher and Room Parent Lead requests. Usually coordinated by the teacher directly or with the help of the Room Parent Lead(s). Schedules are flexible and the children love when they see parents participating in class, especially when it's their own parent. Thank you in advance for volunteering your time and energy! We look forward to a great year!
