Each school year PTA Parent Members are given the opportunity to sign up to be considered to serve as a room parent for their child's homeroom teacher. Each homeroom teacher is assigned 2 room parents. Room parents must be PTA members and have paid their annual dues. Room parents must also have completed a background check through AACPS. This year we will be adding additional room parents to assist the special education and cultural arts teams.
Room parents serve as a liasion and point of contact between the PTA, teacher and the classroom parents. Additionally, room parents organize the class parties at Halloween and Valentines Day, gifts for their assigned teacher at holidays and other special occasions and represent the classroom at PTA events during the school year by volunteering at events such as Fall Festival (each homeroom class is responsible for a game/craft station), the Holiday Breakfast, the Sweet Spring Soiree and Teacher Appreciation Week.
If you are interested in being a room parent for your child's class please fill our a volunteer interest form at Sneak A Peek or Back to School Night. Forms will be sent home with your child the first week of school and can also be found on our website and social media.
The deadline to submit your request for consideration to be a 2023-2024 Room Parent is September 7, 2023 - so do not wait to fill our your form.
