St. Cloud Christian School

Parent Support Team/Room Parents

 

Purpose:

The Parent Support Team/Room Parent program at SCCS is a key element of our school’s partnership between families and classrooms. The Parent Support Team was put into place to enhance the educational program of SCCS by providing a structure and system through which parents are encouraged and enabled to support our teachers and staff.

Structure:

Two parents will serve as at each grade level and work with the classroom/homeroom teacher to coordinate parent volunteers that help with activities and events. They will communicate with their classroom/homeroom teacher on a regular basis to discern the needs and actively seek to enlist parents to help with those needs.

Examples of Support Activities:
  •  Assist teachers with general classroom tasks – flashcards, Bible memory verses, reading book clubs, math facts, etc.
  • Recruit drivers for field trips and Warriors Serve projects.
  • Coordinate the planning and organization of class parties and events with the teacher.
  • Find unique ways to encourage and edify teachers and staff especially on special dates.
  • Birthday, Anniversary, Christmas, Teacher Appreciation Week, Year-End
  • Monthly prayer and encouragement.
  • Organize projects for and encourage participation in school fundraisers.
  • Silent Auction

As a reminder, support activities may vary from year-to-year and classroom-to-classroom. With each new year, individual teachers, and group of students, new and different ways to volunteer for your child’s classroom will arise.
