Middle School
At this time, we do not have class parents for Middle School. PTA events benefiting the Middle School students must go through a few pre-planning and pre-approval stages before dates can be set.
Chairpersons & Class Parents,
Thank you for choosing to volunteer in such an important capacity. In order to comply with our Bylaws as well as that of the national PTA guidelines, you are to be members in good standing (ie. pay your dues) before assuming your role.
As a School No. 6 PTA member, you are automatically a member of the National PTA. Visit www.pta.org or www.njpta.org for valuable member benefits and resources. A user name and password is listed on the back of your membership card. Garden State PTA is a separate membership.

Responsibilities of a Class Parent

If all chairperson opportunities are taken, you must volunteer for at least (2) events. It is also MANDATORY for all Class Parents to volunteer for our annual Fun Day in May.
4. Visitor Passes must be worn at each visit during school hours. Minimize classroom disruption. Do not overstay your welcome; celebrations do not normally require more than ½ an hour of time. Adults are limited to Adult restrooms, located in the Faculty room or other designated area. Do not use the children's restroom.
5. Class Parent input and ideas are necessary. Class Parents are often the first communicators between the PTA, teachers, and non-PTA members.

2018-2019 Class Parent List will be updated by the end of September. (Maximum 3 per classroom)
We thank everyone for volunteering for these roles, especially to those who want to be a class parent to multiple classrooms. At this time, we are limiting parents to 1 classroom so that we can accommodate more volunteers. If spots are still open in November, we will consider assigning multiple rooms to parents.
Class Parents:
Please introduce yourselves to the classroom as soon as possible. Attached is a copy of a sample letter of introduction.

Holiday Letters and End of Year Letters are almost the same. Class Parents normally send these out before the holidays and the end of year, collecting funds toward a gift for the teacher (and aides, if any). The gift should be a simple as possible, avoiding knick knacks.
