What is a Room Parent?
Room Parents are an essential part of the BEST PTO, supporting teachers, and linking the school community. Being a Room Parent does not mean you have to be in the classroom or the school all the time. Most of the work involves relaying information to the class and coordinating parent volunteers, both of which can be done by phone or email.

 

Typically, most classrooms have one Room Parent to coordinate communications, and two other Room Parents to assist with activities throughout the year. All Room Parents are welcome to contact the teacher and families about various activities they are coordinating, though it may be easiest to designate a communications person to handle emailing families most of the time.
