Q300 Class Parents 2026-2027
What is a class parent?
Class Parents work as a team and serve as the liaisons between class families, classroom teachers, and the PTA. The duties of the class parents will vary according to the teacher and grade; they may be asked to assist with class service projects, help with the coordination of field trips, etc. For Kindergarten, 4th, and 8th grades, Class Parents are vital for coordinating the fundraising initiatives to help with their grade’s Stepping Up and Graduation Ceremonies.
The Class Parents work as a team and be instrumental in various ways, including:
- Meeting with teacher to discuss the role they would like the class parent to play and maintain a positive working relationship with the teacher.
- Helping to build the community amongst students and families and keeping the community connected.
- Setting up a list of e-mail addresses and telephone numbers for communication with the families.
- Helping the teachers coordinate classroom-related events and projects, sending out e-mail reminders about them, and helping recruit volunteers for these activities.
- Serving as a critical link in communicating feedback and information between parents and teachers. As a representative for your class, parents may approach you about concerns and ideas they would like to share with the school. Teachers may solicit your feedback regarding grade- level events and changes, as well as ask you to disseminate information regarding the class.
- Acting as a liaison between the classroom parents and the PTA. Although it is not mandated, it is helpful to attend PTA general meetings when possible.
- Submitting brief stories to the PTA newsletter about classroom celebrations.
- Supporting school-wide events and other events sponsored by the PTA by volunteering or finding volunteers from your class and/or communicating with the parents in your class.
- Working with the other class parents for your grade to help organize grade-wide events.
- For K, 4th & 8th: The 8th grade class parents help organize and serve on the committee to plan special activities to celebrate graduation. The 4th grade class parents help organize and serve on the committee to plan special activities to celebrate Moving Up. Kindergarten class parents help organize the Stepping Up ceremony and celebration.
