Room Parents

Aiming to cultivate a unified classroom community, Room Parents play a crucial role in supporting teachers and bridging communication with caregivers. In most classrooms, a team of two or three parents shares the responsibilities, dividing tasks according to their personal interests.

 
 

Key Responsibilities

  • Parental Involvement: Ensure every classroom has parent volunteer(s) and provide ongoing support and guidance to all volunteers.

  • Author and coordinate announcements for the VOPA Newsletter.

  • Actively seek out caregivers from specific classrooms until all volunteer positions are secured.

  • Maintain an updated list of room parent contacts.

  • Distribute volunteer guidelines and a sample budget to all participants.

  • Send timely event reminders throughout the academic year.
