Room parents are an invaluable resource at Oak Knoll. In this role, you are an
important enabler of many of the activities, events, and programs that make our
school such a special place! Your help is greatly appreciated by the Oak Knoll
community.
The following resources have been collected to help inform and provide room
parents with tools that can help you work more efficiently and effectively
throughout the school year.
If you have questions or suggestions regarding these materials or the room
parent program, please contact Jody Buckley, Lyn Denend or Kim Guthrie. Over
time, we hope to expand the Resource Center with YOUR ideas and more best
practices for running great classroom parties, fun grade level events, and other
successful activities. So, please send us information and ideas that might be
useful to other room parents.
Thank you again for being a room parent this year!
