Room Parent tips:
 
Message to Room parents:
  • Keep your itemized receipt, when requesting reimbursement if you don’t have the itemized receipt, consider it a donation/gift to the school.
  • Pls keep an itemized amount you spent and collected for the entire year, per event/occasion. Templates found on Google Drive.
  • We are a ‘all for one’ school, All grade level feasts/parties must be synchronized and equal across the classes if doing grade level events.
  • Please be mindful that unnecessary classroom visits may disrupt the student’s learning.  Please check with your teacher ahead of time. 
  • Room parents, you are the buffer between teacher and parents, any parent volunteers should first confirm with you (the room parent) if help is needed. 
  • Please keep communication to teachers minimal during school hours, and for parent’s questions try to send in one message.
