2009-2010 Central School Room Parent Program

Welcome to the Central School Room Parent Program! For the eighth year, the Central School is sponsoring a Room Parent Program. The Room Parent Program identifies one parent volunteer who communicates information between the teacher and the parents of the classroom students. This program has been very successful in years past due to the participation of so many families. The Room Parent position itself is very rewarding, but the success of the program depends on the families committed to contributing and donating to the classroom!

Beth Hoitt – Kindergarten Coordinator - 508-378-2890
Kim Bouffard – Grades 1-3 Coordinator
LoriAnne Orofino – Preschool Coordinator

Some examples of the responsibilities of a Room Parent:

  • Ask parents to donate needed classroom supplies (tissues, glue sticks, hand wipes for example)
  • Coordinate the holiday and end of year gift programs for the teacher and the aide(s)
  • Contact parents to send in items for special occasions and holiday parties
  • Involve parents in teacher appreciation projects

A Room Parent may be asked to do some or all of these tasks. Most of the job is telephoning or emailing other parents about what is needed in the classroom. The Room Parent may also be asked to come into the classroom once or twice during the year.

A Room Parent Program Registration Form is sent home in the first day of school packets. Parents have the opportunity to volunteer as a Room Parent or to support the Room Parent program. Please consider volunteering as either the Room Parent or as a contributing member of the classroom.

This school year we have three Room Parent Coordinators: Beth Hoitt, Kim Bouffard and LoriAnne Orofino.

Beth Hoitt is continuing as a Coordinator and has three children, Alyssa in Grade 3, Alex in Grade 2, and Amanda is in Kindergarten.

Kim Bouffard was a Room Parent last year and has two girls, Julia in Grade 2 and Rachel in Kindergarten.

LoriAnne Orofino was also a room Parent last year and has a daughter Ava in Grade 1, a son Spencer in Preschool and a baby girl named Ainsley

The events coordinated by the Room Parent are for services that directly relate with classroom initiatives and directly impact classroom events and activities.

The Central School really wants this program to be a positive experience for you and for the children in the classroom.
