OCES 2018-2019 Room Parents

We need room parents for this school year – please consider volunteering for your child(ren)s class! As Room Parent, your main responsibility is to plan and execute two class parties (Winter party in December and End-of-Year party in June).  Also, you may be asked to send a few emails to classroom parents to remind them of school events such as fundraisers, Teacher Appreciation Week or Art Walk. It is also nice to check with your teacher every now and then to see if they need anything!
