Room Parent Toolbox

Room Parents serve an important role at Sherrills Ford Elementary as they act as not only the conduit between teacher and classroom parents but as an extension of the PTO.

As a Room Parent, you are expected to carry out the following responsibilities in addition to any other requests that your classroom teacher may have:

• Organize classroom celebrations
• Communicate with Classroom Parents--information specific to the class as well as PTO projects; welcoming new students & their families to Sherrills Ford Elementary
• Assist the PTO with various events, support Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week events, and recruit volunteers for special projects

Please remember that the position of Room Parent is an important commitment for the entire school year. The teachers and Room Parent Coordinator will depend on you to be reliable and consistent throughout the school year. Although it is the Room Parents who are responsible for coordinating the above activities, it is strongly recommended that they give all classroom parents the opportunity to assist with the events/activities that take place throughout the year.
Since there are usually numerous volunteers for this position, there may be several people selected for each classroom.
