Room Parents play a vital role in fostering a strong sense of community and support within our classrooms and at our school. They serve as a crucial link between teachers, parents, and the broader school community, facilitating effective communication and collaboration.

By coordinating classroom activities, organizing events, and providing assistance to teachers, Room Parents help create a positive and engaging learning environment for students. Their dedication and involvement contribute to building a sense of belonging and teamwork, ultimately enhancing the overall educational experience for both students and their families.

Interested in supporting your class as a Room Parent or any other role (i.e. Art, Garden, Library, or STEM), please reach out to volunteers@mckinleybulldogs.com.
