Hello, Home Room Parents for 2023-2024!
My name is Erin Harry and I am your Home Room Parent Coordinator for 2023-2024. This is my first year to serve in this position, and I am thrilled to help our fantastic Caraway community of parents honor our amazing teachers and staff. Please see some action items below to get started as home room parents:
Current Action Items:
- Sign up for the PTA if you haven't yet.
- If you are a home room parent, let me know your contact info.
- Complete the RRISD volunteer application if you haven't done so.
- Email your teacher to schedule a meeting to go over expectations for your role in that classroom, and to discuss future parties, events, etc.
- Request a class email list from your teacher. You can send an email of your own to your teacher or edit this one: Teacher Email Request.
- Email your class parents introducing yourself and other homeroom parents (Fall Intro Sample Letter). Feel free to use as much or as little of this as you'd like, or write your own altogether.
- Teacher/Staff/HRP Pairings Take note of the staff member your class is paired with and send them an introduction email explaining that they are paired with your classroom this year.
- Check out Teacher/Staff Favorites to see your teacher's and staff person's birth dates and their personal and classroom wish-lists, including their amazon wishlists! If you see that your Teacher/Staff did not fill this out please ask them to do so.
- Request that your teacher completes an amazon wishlist for the classroom if they have not already.
The amazing Hospitality Committee will need the help of HRPs to forward emails and recruit helpers for a few events throughout the year that honor our teachers and staff. This info will come as events near.
Thank you for volunteering in this role this year. The teachers truly appreciate it, and you make a huge difference to our wonderful school!
