Room Parents

The success of Walnut Acres Elementary School relies largely on the dedication of volunteers in and around the school. Room Parents are key components of that volunteer team. The Room Parent position is the lead contact for your child’s classroom and the main source of communication between the PFC, your teacher, and the parents in your class. 

Room Parent Duties

• Confirm the class roster with parents and send invitations via your Konstella classroom to all parent email addresses

• On Back-to-School Night, you and/or your teacher will provide a classroom volunteer sign-up sheet(s) for parents to indicate their preference and availability to help out in class. You'll use this information to create a class volunteer schedule within Konstella

• Create and distribute your classroom's volunteer schedule via Konstella

• Coordinate classroom parties and events 

• Support class and school events throughout the year by communicating event details and soliciting volunteers when needed 

• Keep class parents informed of activities happening in the classroom in partnership with the teacher

• Send informational emails from the school to parents on your class roster when needed
