St. Genevieve Room Parents
Room Parents are in existence to promote the ideas of Catholic education by fostering a better understanding of parental responsibilities in the spiritual and educational development of our children. The membership of the Room Parents is comprised of parents, guardians, and all staff members of St. Genevieve School.
Following are the primary goals of the St. Genevieve Room Parents:
- To support the school and its policies. When school policies are formulated, the good of all the students and teachers is considered. Therefore, it is expected that the Room Parents will strive to do all they can to support and uphold the policies set in place by the administration.
It is NOT the role of the Room Parents to formulate school policy.
Room Parent meetings are never to be a forum for discussion regarding individual concerns about school matters.
- To help support the school financially. Anticipated profits from fundraising play an important role when formulating the school budget for the year. Therefore we anticipate that a certain amount of money will be brought in through the fundraising efforts of the Room Parents.
It is NOT the role of the Room Parents to determine how those profits will be spent. We have many needs for St. Genevieve School; often, there will be urgent needs that are not possible to anticipate. Therefore, it is necessary that the administration reserves the right to determine how the monies will be spent. We will always take all opinions into consideration, but the decision is made by the school's administration.
- To be a source of education to the association's members. Our goal is to bring in speakers and presenters who will help us all to become better educators of our children. Please offer your suggestions or assistance in planning appropriate programs.
- A classroom representative will be assigned each year to help coordinate classroom and school wide events.
- The school will also have teacher representation at all scheduled Room Parent meetings who will report to the other teachers and staff members absent from the meeting.
