Franklin Room Parent Information 
New Updates for 2018-2019!

There are a few new updates to the Room Parent process this year. The goal is to give MORE parents an opportunity to be involved in their child’s class. Room Parent Sign-up will begin on Wednesday, August 29th on MySchoolAnywhere.

On Wednesday, August 29th, the following sign-up slots will be available for each classroom:
  • Two Head Room Parent Sign-Up Slots* (must attend both parties)
  • Two Room Parent Sign-Up Slots to sign up to attend the Halloween Party**
  • Two Room Parent Sign-Up Slots to sign up to attend the Valentine's Party**

*TWO HEAD ROOM PARENTS FOR EACH CLASS
Each classroom will have two head room parents. Head Room Parents will be responsible for the following:
  • Planning and attending both classroom parties (Halloween and Valentine’s Day)
  • Purchasing and presenting the classroom teacher holiday & end-of-year gift. 
  • Providing the attending parent names for the Franklin Office before each party.
  • Attending the Room Parent Meeting, on Thursday, September 13th at 6pm in the Franklin LRC. Free babysitting provided in Teacher’s Lounge.
  • Note: You can only be the Head Room Parent for ONE classroom at Franklin. This is to give more parents an opportunity to be involved at school and to eliminate conflicts.

**ROOM PARENTS FOR EACH CLASSROOM PARTY
  • There will be two additional sign-up slots to be a Room Parent for each party. 
  • Sign up for only ONE party the first day (8/29) to give all parents a chance to sign up for at least one class. 
    • PTA reserves the right to remove a parent from one sign-up if they sign up for more than one party before Thurs
  • On Thursday, August 30, if there is availability in another child's classroom, you can sign up for another classroom. 
    • Note: If you have more than one child at Franklin, please only attend the Halloween party of one child. DO NOT SIGN UP FOR TWO HALLOWEEN or VALENTINE'S DAY PARTIES. They may be at the same time. 
​
​
Parties will be limited to 4 parents MAX per classroom (Per school guidelines)


How do I sign up to be a Room Parent? Sign-up will begin the day after Franklin Open House Curriculum Night on Wednesday, August 29th on MySchoolAnywhere. Sign-up is open to all PTA Members.
