Room Parent Information

Room Parent Description

Room parents are a liaison with the classroom teacher, families of the children in the class and QHPTA. In this way, the teacher need only communicate with one or two parents when it comes to the following list of activities. These activities are the responsibility of the room parents. The bold items are mandatory activities, while the others are to be addressed based on the teacher's needs. It is the responsibility of the room parent to check in with the teacher as to which of these items/activities will be completed in that school year.

ALL ROOM PARENTS MUST BE PAID MEMBERS OF QHPTA.

Room Parent Responsibilities

1) Liaison between teacher and parents which requires getting contact info from parents of the students in your class at the beginning of the year.

2.) Room parents facilitate with the School Direc

2) Requesting needed supplies for classroom from families (no pressure approach).

3) Helping out with Bulletin boards, Holiday parties, celebrations & special events.

4) Soliciting items and volunteers to support QHPTA events.

5) Communicate with teacher on a regular basis to ask if they need any help with upcoming holidays and events.

7) Teacher Appreciation Day (1st week in May) involves making something special for the teacher from the kids. This will be a craft project that you come up with for the teacher and help the students create. Teacher Appreciation Luncheon is taken care of by a separate PTA committee.

8) End-of- the-year Teacher gifts involves coordinating a gift from the entire class to the teacher to be given the last week of school.

Remember, these are suggestions set up by the PTA to help the Room Parents who would like some guidance. We know some of you have been doing this for a while and already have your ideas planned for your class. Our goal is to make our school events as easy and coordinated as possible and to offer our guidelines and help for the Room Parents that need it. For any new Room Parents who have questions or need extra information please let me know!
