Letters are going home today asking for parents who are interested in becoming a classroom mom or dad. Here’s some information if you are interested:<\/p>\n
Research shows that students who have a strong support system at home and school are those who are the most well-equipped to achieve success. Schools with strong parent-teacher relationships provide even more opportunities for our students\u2019 success and often outperform other schools in academic achievement and growth. In an effort to strengthen our parent-teacher relationships, we are seeking to assign a \u201cClassroom Mom or Dad\u201d to each of our classrooms. <\/span><\/p>\n What is a \u201cClassroom Mom or Dad\u201d?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n A Classroom Mom or Dad is the parent or legal guardian of a child in a classroom. Classroom Moms or Dads are volunteers who take a lead role in <\/span><\/i>facilitating communication between other parents and the teacher, the PTA, and occasionally school administration. This can vary a little from class to class, teacher to teacher depending on the grade level and the time of year. For the most part, as a Classroom Mom or Dad you will communicate with the teacher on a schedule that works for both of you to organize, plan, and coordinate special events, celebrations, parties, or field trips. Additionally, Classroom Moms or Dads act as liaisons for their school\u2019s PTA, encouraging participation in their events from the classroom you are supporting. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n At this time we are seeking to assign one Classroom Mom or Dad per classroom. If this is something you are interested in, please fill out the information below. Please understand that this is a year-long physical and social commitment that will require your energy, patience, and time. By filling this out, you are demonstrating an understanding of the importance of this commitment and your name will be taken into consideration when selecting a Classroom Mom or Dad. <\/span><\/p>\n Please complete the bottom portion of the letter sent home by Monday, September 25.
