Call for Classroom Reps!

Roden School Council has established a group of classroom representatives as part of its effort to engage parents and build community. Class Reps play an important role in improving the lines of communication within the classroom and school, thereby having a positive effect on our children and the school community.

We’re looking for a parent to represent each class to act as the liaison between parents, classrooms and the school council. Possible duties of the Classroom Reps include:
– Sharing ideas and concerns from parents to the School Council through the Volunteer Coordinator and providing council information feedback to parents
– Helping share information about school events and volunteer opportunities for the classroom
– Coordinating a classroom email/contact list to facilitate the sharing of information with parents
– Helping welcome new parents to the community

To find out more or to sign up to be your child’s classroom rep, contact volunteers@roden.ca.
