Each year Skokie School asks for volunteers for Room Parents. Room parent sign ups are for 5th and 6th grade parents only. 2-3 room parents are are needed per Advisory and minimal time commitment is involved. Room Parents assist classroom teachers as needed and serve as a liaison between teachers, the PTO, and classroom parents. Being a room parent is a great way to connect with other parents and your child’s teacher!
Responsibilities will include:
- Send an introductory email to the advisor and let that teacher know who the room parents are.
- Plan activities, collect money from advisory families to purchase any materials, and lead Halloween and Valentine’s Day parties (1 craft, 1 game, 1 act of service/kindness activity).
- Communicate with other Skokie room parents to plan similar experiences for students with similar costs to families within each class.
- Communicate with families within the class to find a substitute to fill in on party/event days if you’re unable to attend.
- Organize a casual parent get-together for the parents within an advisory during the fall.
The link to sign up will be emailed on Thursday, August 25th at 9am. It will also be linked to from this page.
