On behalf of the P.T.O., welcome to the 2011-2012 school year. The P.T.O. is seeking volunteers to serve as room parents for each classroom. As a room parent, you will be asked to carry out the following responsibilities in addition to any other requests that your classroom teacher may have:

• Coordinate the PTO Art Project in your classroom (Spring)
• Help organize classroom celebrations (at the request of the teacher)
• Contribute to the Teacher Appreciation Luncheon or Tea

Please remember that the position of room parent is an important commitment for the entire school year. The teachers and room parent coordinators 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. The teachers usually give first priority to individuals who have not served as a room parent in the past year.

If you have any questions regarding the room parent position, please feel free to contact us at roomparents@granbypto.org.

If you would like to volunteer, please use the PTO Online Volunteer Signup Form.
