Hi Room Parents!

Firstly, thank you SO much for volunteering to be a room parent for our staff at DME. They need all the support they can get!

Things to do now:

- Complete your MISD background check. Any adult coming to school to do volunteer work will need this completed and approved as well. Link here. 

- Join our Facebook PTO for additional PTO info. Link Here. 

- Pay your $25 PTO membership dues for this year. This isn't a requirement, but this money goes towards supplying supplies and food for our staff provided by the PTO throughout the year. The $25 is considered a family fee, so even if you have multiple kids at DME, you only pay $25 once for the year. Link here. 

- Bookmark the McClatchey PTO page here. 

- Bookmark this Room Parents/Staff Favorites List. which is your resource for room parent assignments/staff favorites/PTO board information. Please note, not all staff have completed the favorites list as of today, so check back periodically for updates. I have reminded them to do so. Also note, some teachers have no or 1 room parents currently (denoted in yellow or red). I have already reached out to these teachers to encourage them to ask the class parents for additional help - I'll update the list and notify you once I receive more volunteers. 

- Send an introductory email to your co-room parent and your teacher/support staff about your role. Perhaps ask if you can help start a class directory or obtain the class directory if they already have it made. Also ask if they have any urgent needs you can ask the class parents for (copies, etc.). 

I'll be sending more information regarding upcoming events and class party info soon. Thanks again for your help! If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to ask!
