Overview
What is a Homeroom Parent?

The Homeroom Parent is a facilitator/liaison between the parents and the classroom teacher. Homeroom Parents are the foundation of the volunteer program, which provides BPHSA with the many benefits that come from a strong volunteer community served by all its families.

Homeroom Parents are a necessary and much appreciated part of the Bridle Path Home and School Association (BPHSA). Please note that volunteering as a Homeroom Parent does not guarantee that you will chaperone the class trips as the teachers are responsible for selecting chaperones.

Every classroom needs two Homeroom Parents. The selection of Homeroom Parents will be determined per the guidelines listed in the BPHSA by-laws.

All Homeroom Parents must have their updated Clearances on file under NPSD guidelines!  If you are unsure if your clearances are up to date and on file, please reach out to the Homeroom Parent Chairperson for confirmation. 

We hope to have all Homeroom Parents chosen by mid-September.

Responsibilities of a Homeroom Parent
Working with the Teacher
The most important part of being a homeroom parent is that you must communicate with the teacher so you know what’s going on with the kids and with the classroom activities. The teacher will guide you as to what is expected from you.

Organizing Parties and Events
Most homeroom classes have at least one party per school year. As a homeroom parent, it would be your job to organize these. You would be responsible for making arrangements for donations of food and any desserts, what activities the kids will do, and contacting other parents so they also know what’s going on. You will also be responsible for helping with any virtual parties the teachers decide to plan.

Field Trips
If there is a class-wide field trip, you may be asked to help organize it or coordinate volunteers.

Relaying Information to Parents
One of your duties as a homeroom parent is to communicate with the other parents. If there is an event, you will typically send out fliers/emails. You will also need to arrange for other parents to volunteer their time for field trips and other events. If parents have any questions about the class’s social calendar, you are the first point of contact, so you need to check your email regularly.

Please contact the Homeroom Parent chair at bridlepathhomeroomparents@gmail.com if you have any questions.  The Homeroom Parent chairperson for the 2023-24 school year is Geni McCann.
