ROLES & RESPONSIBILTIES

There are typically 3 class parents per classroom. There will be one class captain and then the other class parents. The class captain is the head class parent who the teacher will usually call to coordinate class parties, etc.

CLASS PARENT PERKS

Class parents get first choice for parent/teacher conference sign up. The captain will also be in touch with the other grade level captains concerning holiday parties or other grade wide events. This way they can share ideas and, where appropriate, coordinate one party for the entire grade.

CLASS E-MAILS

At times the class captain will need to send information to your class via e-mail for the teacher and/or HSA. Please use the Maugham directory app to retrieve your class list & parent emails. Sign Up Genius is a great way to allow parents to participate in sending in items for class parties & activities.

HSA MEETINGS

The HSA is asking that every class be represented at every meeting. To assure this we are asking the head class parent to oversee this. Please make a HSA Meetings Sign Up Genius with all of the HSA meeting dates for this school year & put 2 slots per date. Then send it out to your class asking the parents to sign up to attend at least one meeting.

CLASS KITTY

The class kitty is money distributed to each class from the HSA to be used for class parties, class activities, supplies, etc. The captain for each class will be given $100 (K & 1st grade captains $200) by our HSA Treasurer. It is the captain’s responsibility to keep track of $$ used for the kitty using the Class Fund Tracking Form.

CLASS PARTIES

Different teachers have parties for different occasions. However, every event should be a joint effort with all parents in the class, not only the official “class parents.” This does not mean that every parent should be invited to every class party, because the classroom sizes do not permit and the number of people would be chaotic.

TEACHERS GIFTS

Our official “unofficial policy” is as follows: At the December break, NO class collections should be made. Parents are free to give a small token of their appreciation if they wish.
