SKOkie/washburne pto committees

We have many exciting opportunities to offer for the 2024-25 school year! Please consider a position leading or being part of a committee (more information on roles noted in the Sign-Up Genius link below!) Working with the PTO is a great way to see an inside look into Skokie & Washburne. It's also a wonderful way to share your skills, make new friends, and get to know the teachers & staff!

Skokie/Washburne PTO Committees

SKOKIE SCHOOL ROOM PARENTS

Please consider being a Room Parent to your Advisory at Skokie School! Room Parent sign ups are for 5th and 6th grade parents only. 2 Room Parents are needed per Advisory classroom and minimal time commitment is involved. Room Parents will assist Advisory teachers as needed and serve as a liaison between teachers, the PTO, and classroom parents.

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 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.
