Hi! How do we want to handle teacher requests? Would love to have something that the pta sends out possibly to get some volunteers. Or do we have a list of volunteers we could push this to?

Hello wonderful parents,
Third grade teachers are in need of parents to help us with making copies.  This can be once per week, or we are open to creating a schedule that works well for our volunteers.  Please email me separately if you are available.  Please do not reply all.
      
Kindly,
Mrs. Lyon

I think this was typically coordinated by room parents in the past?

Maybe we get Erin to reach out to that room parent-if they have already been established. Was it Lyons or all 3rd grade?

Hi all,

I may be wrong, but I think Sarah Perman volunteered as room parent for Mrs. Lyon. 

Thanks!

Hi all- 

I did along with Jackie Martin I’m not sure if anyone else did as well yet. This is the first email of any sort we have gotten from her. I was planning to check in with her tomorrow and see if she had any volunteers.

I believe Erin had a sign up for teacher helpers in all of the classrooms?

I’m happy to jump in for the immediate need before a larger scale volunteer system is set up. Let me know if that works and I can reply back to her and buy some time to get room parents assembled. I’m sure this will be more than a third grade need.

I’m looping Erin in. I think she has this covered or at least in the works with room parents.

In walking Liam to class this morning I saw a parent there helping Mrs lyons.

For Lyon; Sarah, you and two others signed up for Room Parents (Alea Nesbit, Jackie Martin). Alysia August also signed up under "miscellaneous".
I would assume Ms. Lyon will get a response for someone to help.

My plan is to send out room parent coordinator communication later next week. Trying to give everyone a chance to breathe after the race to the first day. I've already sent out emails to the 5 teachers that still needed sign ups for Room Parent to reach out to their class list and "politely beg" for volunteers. (High, Schlenk, Ginn, Insogna, and Rhyne-Byrd)

Send any questions my way.

Thanks,
Erin

Yes, there was a space on the sign up sheets in each classroom at open house specifically around “admin help/copies”.

I will check if someone signed up for Ms. Lyon. I also gave each teacher a copy of their sign ups, so she has it.

I helped with 3rd grade copies last week and it was a ton. For this, Ms. Whitfield had everything organized to be copied and number of copies for each 3rd grade room requested, so it was for the entire grade.

Thanks,
Erin

Hi Erin-

Excellent. I know Jackie well and sorta begged her to sign up with me. I do not know the other parent yet. 

It sounds like Lyon’s already had someone there helping out this morning too. I personally like to let these types of requests simmer for a beat to let a parent who was maybe reluctant to raise their hand in general on day 1 and “commit to the unknown” do it for a specific request. It seems most of the time someone steps up and now we know another active parent in the community to tap when we have a need. 

If this is not how you want these requests addressed just let me know and I’m happy to coordinate with the other room parents more quickly.  I’m excited that we have 3 for this class it makes it all so much easier then.

Thanks and I’ll watch for an official email from you. In the meantime feel free to reach out to me as well. 

For room parent duties and communication please make sure to use my personal email that I provided on the form vs the PTA email. I don’t want to cause any confusion in the future when someone is looking back on the parliamentarian email. Mcleno...@gmail.com is the personal email to use. 

Thanks
Sarah
