Room Parent Resource

Herod PTO assists teachers to recruit room parents. PTO strives to provide support and information to room parents to assure they are able to help their teachers in the classroom.
Thank you volunteering to be a room parent. Below are some forms that have been used in the past and might give you some ideas of what room parent responsibilities are every year. Each teacher is different, so we leave details for you to work out with the classroom teacher.
Please remember you do not have to do it all yourself. Ask for help from other parents in your class. If you have any questions feel free to email me at 5snugglebunnies@sarahlevit.com.

Helpful Forms

Room Parent Info: What are the responsibilities of a room parent? This guide lists out many of the details of being a room parent.

Auction Class Baskets & Projects: Room parents, please use these guidelines when preparing your auction class baskets and projects. (this guide will be updated later in the Fall)

Sample Holiday Flyers: For each class party you will need help from parents in your class to either be there during the party or donate towards the party. This is an example form you can use to recruit help for the party. (this guide will be updated later in the Fall)

Getting to Know the Teacher: Here room parents will find a sample form that you can use to gather information about your teacher’s specific likes and dislikes.

Class Contact Information Request: Room Parents should compile a list of all of the students’ contact information and create a class list to distribute to all of the families in the class. Here is a sample of what data you will want to include in your request.

Parent Volunteer sheet:  As a room parent you will need help throughout the year. Use this sample form to ask parents how they would like to contribute to the class during the year.

Tax exempt Form:  Use this form to purchase items for use by PTO (room parents, classroom purchases, supplies, items for events, etc.) Remember that PTO will not reimburse for sales tax!

Check Request Form:  To be reimbursed for classroom expenses, please complete this form and attach your receipts. Turn in your form and receipts in the PTO box on the wall in the PTO room.
