 Classroom/Extra-Curricular Assistance:

 

 Room Parents: Special activities are a vital part of a child’s development and this is the room parents contribution to our children. Along with the teacher, you will plan activities that are suitable for classroom parties and assist the teacher with special activities and field trips. Room parents are also in charge of setting up and displaying items for the Achievement Fair, and planning for the school picnic at the end of the year. In addition, Room Parents in 1st Grade help the Kindergarten parents prepare for the Kindergarten Graduation; and the 7th Grade Room Parents are responsible for planning/decorating the 8th Grade Graduation luncheon.  At the beginning of each school year, the classroom teacher will be given a list of parents who have volunteered as room parents. The teacher will then choose two (or more) parents to serve as “Co-Room Parents.” These room parents will work with the rest of the volunteers throughout the school year.

 

Field Trip Chaperones: Each class will need chaperones for field trips. You will need to complete all of the necessary Diocesan forms for each class field trip.
