Homeroom Parents - The Basics
Homeroom parents are chosen at the beginning of the school year. You must be a member of the GB PTO to be a Homeroom Parent. Click here to become a member.
We will select three to four homeroom parents for each class in grades Pre-K through 4, depending on interest. In classes with more parents signing up, we will select names at random. While you can indicate a preference if you have multiple children, please understand that we need to place you in the class that needs you the most. There are no guarantees, but we will try our best to accommodate all requests!
Homeroom parents will be selected and notified sometime during the first week of October. Then, a meeting will be scheduled for all homeroom parents in early October. Details of the meeting will be announced as the date approaches.
There are many responsibilities that come along with being a Homeroom Parent. PLEASE READ the following list of responsibilities before signing up. Our goal continues to be providing safe and fun activities for students and staff.
Meet and communicate with fellow homeroom parents and teachers throughout the school year to plan all activities for the respective class.
Work together as homeroom parents to divide tasks throughout the school year so no one person does everything.
Only 3 parents are permitted to attend a party at a time. If you are a group of 4, you will need to set a party rotation.
Responsible for collecting money and managing funds from party donations.
Purchase, organize, and distribute all materials for said classroom party activity.
Until further notice, food WILL NOT be permitted for the parties.
Attend PTO meetings. Please arrange to have AT LEAST ONE homeroom parent from each class at each meeting so as not to miss important updates and communications.
Homeroom parents will be doing the door decorations-facilitate and arrange the decorating of your classroom’s door for Teacher Appreciation Week.
