What is a Room Parent?
Each year a room parent is selected to help coordinate various aspects of the school year for your child’s homeroom such as:
- Plan and attend all 3 class parties: Fall (October), Winter (December) and the End of Year Party (May) for your homeroom.
- Recruit volunteers and solicit raffle items for Round Up. (This year, Round Up will be in the fall – October 21, 2023).
It is a big job but there are so many awesome parents who are there to help you along the way!
Only one room parent is selected per class. We do not allow co-room parents.
This year the room parent meeting will be required in order to be a room parent, even if you have been a room parent in the past. The meeting will be held immediately following the 1st PTO meeting. There will be a day and night option.
You only have to attend ONE meeting.
The dates and times for the room parent meeting are:
September 14th 10:30 am OR September 14th 6:30 PM
We will keep the meeting to an hour.
To be considered for the room parent job you will need to sign up by August 31, 2023. Sign-ups will open on August 14, 2023, when homeroom teachers are released.
You cannot sign up until you are assigned a homeroom teacher.
No late sign-ups will be accepted - NO EXCEPTIONS.

In-person sign-ups will also be available at Parent Orientation.

Bales 8/24/23, 5:00-6:00 pm

All Room Parents will be required to complete Volunteer Training and submit to a background check, per FISD volunteer policy.
This is to be completed each year.
You will not be able to attend the party without it. Individuals who are party guest/volunteers and not room parents will not need to complete volunteer training or a background check to attend a party.
