Thank you for volunteering your time as a Room Parent! Your generous donation of time, talents and efforts are appreciated by many, including the PTA, Island Park staff, parents and especially the students! In addition to coordinating class parties and events, a Room Parent is the liaison between the teacher and the parents in your class. You will be invited to attend a informational meeting at after school starts where you will receive an overview of the Room Parent role.

Room Parent Sign-Up 

Once all hands are raised, we will work with teachers to finalize the room parents. Be warned – some classes will have many parents wanting to take on the role. If that’s the case for your class, then it’s possible the teacher might do a little lottery to choose just a few room parents for the job. And some classes might just have one or two raised hands for this awesome role. If that’s the case for your class, then get ready to jump in!!

Island Park is committed to being environmentally responsible and that includes our classroom parties. We have switched to reusable party supplies to significantly reduce the amount of trash created. You will find the compostable party supplies in the PTA closet.
