A note just for you!

Room Mom Tip "A" - Always Schedule: Be sure your teacher knows you are coming to visit during their lunch time or break.  Please don't visit during instructional time. Thanks!

What a great turn out at the Room Parent’s meeting!!  Thank you all for taking time out of your schedule to attend and share your ideas.  If you were unable to attend, no worries!  All the forms that we discussed are now posted on this site.  We will also be posting an updated Room Mom directory as soon as its completed.  Everyone had great suggestions and questions, if you think of anything else please call or e-mail me, and we would love to help you.

For the next few days:
*  Your teacher and Parapro will give you their completed “Getting to Know You” form.
*  Have a meeting with all Room Moms and Teacher to discuss their schedule and
   needs for the year, including donation and volunteer information.
*  Get your parent list with phone numbers/e-mails from your teacher.
*  Prepare your Parent Introduction Letter.
*  Start preparing for the Fall Festival.

I know with so many “seasoned” Room Moms, everyone will have plenty of support and great resources to make all your preparations carefree.   You’re doing such a great service for your children and their school, and remember, this really should be fun!!  If you feel overwhelmed at all, please call me, or reach out to another Room Mom.  We’re all here for each other!

Have a great time!
