Beyond committes
There is so much more to the PTA than just committees. We invite you to get involved in whatever way works for you and your schedule, talents and interest! Do you have ideas to elevate the PTA? Are you just interested in being in the mix of things, meeting other parents, connecting with teachers, and administration? Join us on a call, come introduce yourself at a function, or just send an email to introduce yourself! Building an active community of interested, actionable advocates for our students is everything. Your voice matters!
Be a PTA Class Representative
The role of the PTA class representative is to support and build community within the classroom as well as to serve as a communication liaison between the classroom families, the classroom teacher, and the Parent and Teachers Association (PTA). Serving as a PTA class representative is an excellent opportunity to connect to your child’s class and to be involved in both the classroom and school community. The only eligibility requirement for PTA Class Representative is to be a paid member of the PTA ($10 per year).
Responsibilities include:
Coordinate the Internal Class Directory: The purpose of the internal class directory, which usually includes email and/or phone contact information for all class families (teachers, parents and students), is to facilitate communications between the teacher and/or PTA and class families. This internal directory is separate from the school’s records. All class families should provide some form of contact information for the internal directory. If you have a non-English speaking family, let our PTA class representative know, as translation services are available. Though parents will have already provided their email address to the school and school district during the registration process, they still need to expressly release that information to you for class parent communications. Please let parents know that, if they choose not to provide an email address, they may not receive important classroom information.
PTA Meetings: Attend and relay information to your class about the PTA general meetings. Help keep informed on school happenings and share with class families.
PTA Class Parent Meetings: PTA class representatives should attend class parent meetings. Attend to share ideas and offer feedback. We only have a few throughout the year including a fall orientation session
Encourage participation and involvement:
PTA annual membership - you must be an active member of the PTA (hyperlink)
Rally participation in PTA events such as the Read-A-Thon, Holiday Sales, Book Fairs, etc.
Help find volunteers for events and functions
Facilitate participation in feedback requests, polls, and surveys
Teacher gifts: Assist with coordination of teacher’s gift(s) from the class as appropriate.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The role of PTA class representative does not extend to issues relating to teaching or issues with individual students, but rather the whole class and enriching/social events for them all. Parents should talk to teachers individually regarding their own children.
Please contact Hannah Emmerich at ptaclassreps@ptawebster.org to express your interest in being a PTA class representative.
