Call for Room Parents!

A unique opportunity for parent involvement underneath the umbrella of PTO activities is being a Room Parent. Each grade level classroom at Burr this year will have at least one parents/guardians assigned as Room Parents per cohort and DLA. These parents work in partnership with the classroom teacher to provide support and volunteer assistance, as well as to serve as a liaison between the teacher and the rest of the students’ parents from that classroom.

Each teacher will email with his or her Room Parents at the beginning of the year to discuss their needs. The tasks vary from teacher to teacher, but generally support is requested for assisting with communication to classroom parents, implementing special projects, organizing a few classroom community events a year and coordinating teacher appreciation initiatives.  Room Parents may also be called upon to help promote school-wide PTO programs and activities, as their personal relationships with other parents in the classroom help promote a sense of community within the school. 

At least one Room Parents are needed for each Cohort and DLA per grade.  No experience necessary!  This is a great way to get to know your child’s teacher, as well as other families in your child's classroom.
