    •  Find out the best way to communicate with your teacher and parents.
       (i.e. email, phone, in person, Friday Folders)

    •  Teacher mailboxes are located in the Uniform Exchange room.  There will be a
       bulletin board above these mailboxes for announcements, etc.  This is also the
       location of the PTL and PTL Treasurer mailboxes.

    •  PTL Sponsored Event with Assigned Classroom
       This event is the responsibility of the Room Parents of the assigned class with
       support from the PTL.

    •  Assist the classroom teacher with a phone tree for last minute
       events.  This does not happen very often, but may be needed
       for rapid communication when email will not work sufficiently.

    •  Class photographer – It might be helpful to have some one who is in charge of
      taking pictures and finding an easy way to distribute them.

    •  Recess or lunch relief - This is one way to give your teacher a break during the day.   
      One or more parents can watch the students during the lunch period or a recess
      period.  This could be done randomly or on a set schedule.

    •  Field Trips – Recruit volunteers and organize if requested by the teacher (some
      teachers prefer to plan and staff the field trips themselves)

    •  Special Events and Classroom Projects – Throughout the year, teachers may decide
      to do a special project or event and may call on room parents to assist them in
      finding volunteers, making phone calls, providing materials, food, etc.
