ROOM PARENTS
We are so glad you are here!
It’s been three years since the Room Parents of PTO were brought under one umbrella and a committee was formed—and we have learned a lot.
The Role of a Room Parent
As a Room Parent, you help teachers and families stay connected. You’ll:
-
Share updates and reminders.
-
Organize simple class parties and events.
-
Gather volunteers and supplies when needed.
The Impact of a Room Parent
Your help makes school life smoother for everyone:
-
Kids enjoy better-coordinated activities.
-
Teachers get quick, practical support.
-
Parents feel informed and included.

Room Parent Coordinator
Kristen Crockett oversees the Room Parent program and is happy to help. Questions? Write to roomparents@fiskeschoolpto.org
Understanding Your Teacher's Feedback
We’ve summarized each teacher’s preferences in a short survey document. Before your first meeting:
-
Read your teacher’s summary.
-
Note key do’s and don’ts.
-
Bring any questions.
If you haven’t received your teacher’s summary, please email the coordinator.
Zoom Orientation
Usually takes place within fifteen days—on a Thursday—after all slots are filled. Details will be emailed.
Room Parent Social
A fun, casual evening for room parents to connect and feel the energy to lead the parents of the class and assist the teacher in the year to come. Usually takes place in October.
