Room Parent COMMITTEE guidelines

Thank you for volunteering to serve as Room Parent for your child’s classroom! The time you spend in this capacity is greatly appreciated by the teacher, the students, and the other classroom parents.

All Room Parents must be a member of the PTA and complete the GISD volunteer background check. If you haven’t yet joined the PTA and/or completed your volunteer background check, please do so immediately.

The main role of the Room Parent is to provide essential help to your child’s teacher in organizing activities both inside and outside the classroom setting. You assist with facilitating projects at the direction of your teacher and act as a liaison between the class parents, the PTA, and the teacher. If there is more than one Room Parent, it is encouraged that one parent is identified as the main liaison to the teacher and the PTA to simplify communication.
