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.
