Volunteering as a room parent is a great, easy & FUN way to get involved at Hunnewell!
Here’s what room parents do:
Serve as a liaison between the PTO and the classroom parents. You will primarily be asked to forward emails from the PTO to your class.
Support the classroom teacher as needed. You may be called upon occasionally to organize classroom readers or volunteers. Check in with teachers a few times a year to see if they need anything.
Organize grade-level parent volunteers for PTO social and community events.
Plan and organize one grade-level Parent Party each Fall.
Coordinate a year-end class gift for the classroom teacher, teaching assistants and specialists. (Please note that room parents are not responsible for organizing a holiday class gift in December.)
Attend PTO meetings. We encourage room parents to attend PTO Meetings, which occur every other month throughout the school year, to represent the interests of your grade and participate in planning discussions.
Get involved today while enjoying the camaraderie of fellow parents and the joy of enriching your child's school experience!
