You will be invited to attend an orientation meeting at the beginning of the school year where you will receive an overview of the room parent role.
This can vary widely from class to class teacher to teacher and sometimes even district to district.
At most schools the class parent organizes a group gift for teacher appreciation week as well as an end of year gift.

Head room parents please contact your teacher as soon as possible to discuss each of the three parties you are responsible for organizing.
A room parent s main task is to facilitate communication between other parents and the teacher the school parent group and occasionally school administration.
