Class Parents

Class Parents are selected each academic year by the teacher.  One parent may do this role on their own, or two parents may also share this role.  Class Parents’ primary function is to help teachers when they need help and to relay important school communications to families in the class.  Being a Class Parent doesn’t mean you do all of the work; instead, you should be able to delegate assignments to fellow parents and solicit help and support as needed. This is a leadership, community-building, and collaborative role!

Responsibilities include:

• Meet with the teacher to discuss the role they would like the Class Parent to play
• Recruit other parents to help in the duty of Class Parents. Finding a co-Class Parent can make the job easier!
• Meet with other Class Parents and/or the Parent Coordinator on a monthly basis
• At least one Class Parent must attend all of the general meetings of PS 282’s PTO
• Organize class parties and enrichment opportunities
• Send out reminders–via email, chat, or flyers–about upcoming projects, events, meetings, field trips, fundraising, and needs for volunteers
• Act as a resource and ambassador for the school, help connect families to school resources
