Room Parents Needed!

Room Parents serve as the classroom liaison between parents and the PTA/teacher. The primary responsibilities are to communicate with other parents in your child’s class and their teacher about PTA volunteer opportunities and to generally support the class. It’s a great opportunity to get involved and get to know other parents at Pinchbeck! 

Please click the links below if you are interested in becoming a Room Parent OR just want to get on the list to receive PTA volunteer opportunities from your child’s Room Parent.
