Parent Jobs

Hello all! Thanks to all of you trying to reach our new job coordinator, Lauren Fern, to get signed up for tasks around the school. If she hasn't contacted you yet, never fear! Lauren is the working mom of two active kids and she is new to this role (a brave woman considering it's a year when we are adding a lot of new people and logistics into the mix). She and Board VP Jacqueline Teasdale, and last year's parent job coordinator, Brigid Wilson, are meeting this week, gathering some info from teachers and expansion committee members about their most pressing needs, and reorganizing the system a bit to try and best serve everybody. There are a lot of calls and arrangements to make. If anyone out there is interested in assisting Lauren with coordinating jobs, we could sure use more on that team. We'll also be searching for a few new preschool parents to become Classroom Representatives - they attend a monthly board meeting and help facilitate the needs of parents and teachers. It's an elected position, so if you're interested, contact a current board member f0r more detail once school starts up.

It is fun to discover what people's passions and talents are and learn the ways they are most interested in participating. There are always tasks in classrooms helping teachers and kids, but we could also use folks with skills in compiling our weekly newsletter, keeping up our yard and building, planning some social and fund raising events, publicizing the school's expansion and capital campaign, helping with the Spring Auction - all kinds of things! If you're a history buff and/or scrap booking wizard, we have a lot of school pictures, mementos and stories that could be nicely compiled to celebrate the school's 25th year. If you're an organized type that doesn't mind shopping, I think we're still searching for a person or team to be the school supply purchaser.

And, of course, if you have a professional skill or connection you want to lend, we're always appreciative of those offerings. And, of course as the construction continues, we will need people to lend their creative, skilled labor and logistical minds to assist with all of the details of growing.

You will be receiving a mailing from the school in August with orientation materials and information specific to classrooms from your child's teacher.
