Room Parent

Kindergarten

Fifth Grade

Sixth Grade

Two Room Parents will be assigned to each classroom. Room Parents will communicate with other parents about school events, fundraisers, and volunteer opportunities in the class or through PiE. Room Parents will strive to involve all interested parents in at least one class activity during the year.

Responsibilities of the Room Parents
• Meet with the teacher at the beginning of the year to assess his/her needs for parent involvement in the classroom.
• Communicate opportunities for involvement to parents in the class. These opportunities can include, but are not limited to: chaperoning a field trip; planning the class Christmas party; organizing opportunities for parents to meet socially outside of school; organizing class park outings or an end-of-the-year picnic; and any other activities which support the teacher or encourage a sense of community among parents.
• Match interested parents to class activities and communicate this with parents.
• Forward periodic reminders to the parents in the class regarding upcoming PiE events, volunteer opportunities through PiE, and school events.
• Act as the point of contact for parents for questions about classroom or PiE activities. Use the Room Parent Coordinators as a resource for more information when needed.

You may express interest in multiple classes by checking more than one box. If you have two children in the same grade please select that grade twice. Each person may only be a Room Parent for one class.

Please contact Jill Veenstra (mjv@smartgate.com or 630-969-0089) or Julie Bullington (rjbullington@comcast.net or 630-782-0164) with any questions.
