PARENTS
September 8, 2011
Dear Class Parent, We are so glad you have volunteered to help your child’s teacher this year. You are invited to attend an idea-sharing breakfast on September 28th from 8:45 to 9:30 A.M. in the auditorium. It’s a GREAT opportunity to meet other class parents, ask questions, share ideas and relax with a pastry and juice.
Below you will find the Class Parent Information Packet that details your role as a Class Parent and includes sample letters for your use throughout the year. If you decide to begin the process of collecting a class fund or creating a class/grade distribution list before we meet, there are some changes that you must be aware of that we hope make your efforts easier than in the past. Important guidelines that must be followed are also included in the information packet. T
here are wonderful new changes that we are implementing this year. A master e-mail distribution list has been created so that the school and P.A. can streamline their efforts to reach the school population in a timely manner and reduce the number of duplicate e-mails that go out.
You are still encouraged to create your class e-mail distribution list for class-specific notices, but if all goes as we hope, you will no longer be responsible for forwarding messages from the P.A. to your class families.
We are providing you with an excel document of your grade to facilitate the process of creating a grade contact list. We encourage Class Parents from each grade to work together to confirm/update your grade’s current information as well as making sure that information is gathered from new families. In return, we want you to share the updated/new information with the P.A. and school in order to maintain an accurate master list throughout the year.
The computer in the P.A. Office is available for your use to copy templates, and you may download the files from the P.A. Website. There is paper and a copying machine available for copying purposes as well. If you have any questions please feel free to contact Ann Kittredge (annbob303@Nyc.rr.com) or talk to any of your representatives on the P.A. Board.
We have a great school because of your willingness to get involved.
Thank you for volunteering,
Deb Dillingham
