PCPO Room Representatives ("Room Moms")
Room moms act as a liaison between the PCPO and parents, as well as between teachers and parents. They facilitate communication, coordinate volunteers, assist teachers as requested, and generally support events at the school. In May, teachers approach parents who might be interested in serving as a class room representative for the following school year.
Communication
Both the school office and the PCPO/room mom need up-to-date e-mail address(es) for your family.
To get involved
The PCPO welcomes inquiries about open positions on the executive board and committees. Room moms will send periodic e-mails with requests for volunteers.
To contact the PCPO, please call the school office for a phone/e-mail address for the appropriate officer of the executive board, or contact PCPO President Melissa Shields.
