Room Representatives

Room Representatives are representatives for a particular class or grade level who serve as a liaison or contact person for the classroom. The Room Rep plays a very important role as they provide a close personal contact between the PTO, parents, students and teachers.

Teachers and the PTO truly value and appreciate everyone who volunteers to be a Room Rep

Room Reps are resources for fellow classroom parents to ask questions about activities going on in classroom and at school.

Room Reps are part of the PTO and promote the membership, work and events of the PTO. 

It is suggested that Room Parents attend PTO meetings to share information with your class parents.
