Room Parents Needed
To all Turner Creek families, some of our teachers do not have volunteer room parents to help them out during the school year. Teachers, as you know, have a lot to do and need a little extra support from parents. Room Parents are needed for basic filing or clerical help, coordinating volunteers for class events (parties, enrichment activities, field trips, class lists, or Friday folders), as well as, acting as a liaison with the PTA. It does not take up a lot of your time and is a wonderful way to not only be involved with the school but also make a difference in the classroom. Teachers really appreciate having someone to help with the little extra things. Please check with your child's teacher to see if they need a "Main Room Parent" or "Co-Room Parent" (1 to 2 parent volunteers would be ideal) to help them out. If you have any questions about being a Room Parent please feel free to call or email:
