Room Parents

Looking for a way to be more involved in your child’s classroom? The Horace Mann PTA coordinates a Room Parent and Room Helpers program that is designed to bring parents into the classroom to help during parties and other special times throughout the year.

Room parent duties include:

• • Planning and organizing classroom parties: Fall, Winter, and End of the Year. Attendance is not required for all events as Room Parents and Helpers should take turns

  • Communicating party and other PTA event information to parents

  • Coordinating and collecting donated basket raffle items for PTA events

  • Coordinating and collecting items for Teacher Appreciation Week

  • Advocating for and promoting PTA membership and services

It’s a great way to get to know your child’s classmates and teachers even better. If you are a PTA member* and are interested in this opportunity, please submit the form below. Once the list of Room Parents and Helpers is complete, you will receive further details with the expectations for the year.

You may submit your name for as many of your children’s classrooms as you would like. In fairness to the many parents who wish to volunteer, a parent will not be assigned as a room parent of more than one classroom unless there are no other volunteers available.

If you are interested in becoming a Room Parent, please email the board at horacemannptanj@gmail.com. Thank you!

*Per NJPTA Guidelines and Cherry Hill Public School District Policy, a Room Parent/Helper must be a member of the PTA to participate.
