Whether you would like to give an hour or two, half a day or a day, or even if you want to be more involved by chairing an activity or joining the board (and we have VACANCIES!), we want to work with you!
Want to be more involved in your child’s classroom? Become a Room Parent! 🥳 It’s a great way to connect with your child’s class, support the teacher, and help make those special school-day moments extra memorable! 💫 No experience necessary, just a willingness to help! ❤️
What's required?
🎊 Must be able to attend 3 in-class parties throughout the year - Parties run approx 2 hrs. 📅 Fall & Winter tentatively scheduled for 10/30 & 12/23.
At the party you support the teacher with snacks, games & crafts.
Before the party, you 🛍️ collect supplies from your class parents. Don’t worry - we’ve got you! The PTO provides email templates, instructions, and guidance to make this easy.
