Coming to your classroom: Class Parents

The Parents' Association has decided that a good way for teachers to have the parent support they need when they need it without feeling overwhelmed is to have class parents for each classroom. Class parents will help the teachers with communication, volunteer recruitment and scheduling, community building, and minutiae such as getting together on a class donation for the school auction. In so doing, CPs will free up teachers to do what they do best, which is teaching our children. You should be hearing from your CP(s) soon. If you don't, please talk to Kathy Pipkin to see if anyone's volunteered from your class. The job may be waiting for you! It takes many hands to raise our village.
