The primary role of a room parent is to provide support and assistance to the teacher. Each team of room parents should talk with the teacher about how he/she would like to work with room parents and parent volunteers, and what specific other classroom help they would like. Then, using that information, the room parent team can develop a plan for the year that directly addresses the teacher’s unique needs and preferences.
