So You Want to Be a Room Parent?
Room Parents play an integral role in the communication process as a liaison between the teacher, BSC, and the parents. 
Duties:
The duties change from classroom to classroom, and some teachers will want more help than others. Think of this as an outline of what may be in store:
  1. Communicate with parents. As a Room Parent, communication is the key component to your job; therefore, you should try to correspond with your classroom parents as much as possible through email.
  2. Talk to the teacher. Send your teacher an email at the beginning of the year. Then, try to check in with her/him weekly to see if they need anything, and keep the lines of communication open.
  3. Build community. Encourage a sense of community with your class. For example, host a parent's night or a playdate.
  4. Organize gifts for the teacher throughout the year, including holidays, the end of the school year, the teacher's birthday, and Teacher Appreciation Week.
  5. Support your teacher.  As room parents, we're here to help! Your teacher will guide you on how much of a role she or he wants you to play.

See this year's room parent orientation for more info.

If you have any questions, please email Rana Sharif, VP Communications, at balboacommunications@gmail.com.
