It is recommended that room parents follow these steps in planning for all classroom parties: 1. Once a party outline has been created, a copy must be submitted to your classroom teacher for approval. (There is a sample party outline in your folder for your reference.) Please do this well in advance of the party in order to accommodate your teacher’s schedule. Do not proceed on party plans until your teacher has provided you with feedback.*
*Classroom teachers are directly responsible, per the district, for all party arrangements – just as the teachers have direct liability and responsibility for all school-related functions. As such, a cooperative working agreement regarding party arrangements for the year must be maintained and developed early in the year between the classroom teacher and the room parents.
2. Check for food allergies in your classroom. This is very important...we do have children at Ogden that are seriously allergic to certain foods.
3. Please consult with your teacher with regard to how many parent volunteers are allowed at each party.
4. Insure that all parents are aware that, due to safety concerns, pre-school children are not allowed to attend the classroom parties.
5. Don’t forget to have someone take pictures. (Forward copies to the yearbook coordinators through the mailbox in the school office.)
