2019-2020

Welcome to the 2020-2021 school year!
 
Our school routines may look different, but South School is stronger than ever! Whether cohort A, B, or remote academy we are delighted to have you as part of the South School community and we are looking forward to a fabulous year!
 
For the past two weeks, the PTO has been hard at work welcoming faculty and staff back to our school. We couldn’t have done it without the help of our amazing board - Meg Buczynski, Mary Merrill, and Kate Geary - and a slew of volunteers who have helped in a variety of ways get this year off to an amazing start!

Calling All Room Parents...

Hope you enjoyed a wonderful summer break! Now that school is back in session, please consider volunteering to be a room parent. Being a room parent is a fantastic way to get to know your child's teacher, classmates, and other parents. It is one of the best volunteer opportunities at South School and is a valuable way to contribute! Some responsibilities include building community within your class and coordinating teacher appreciation and end of year gifts. One highlight has been coordinating and running class parties. At this time, volunteers are unable to enter school, which will mean creatively rethinking how we celebrate. The goal is to have co-room parents for each class - one for each cohort if applicable. You may volunteer for more than one class.

Afraid to take on the role because you have never been a room parent before or due to this year’s uncertainty? Fear not! There will be a virtual Room Parent Meeting later this month (date TBA) to review the role of room parents, answer any/all questions and provide suggestions. No one will go this alone! 

Still debating? Feel free to email me at lauraveligor@gmail.com. I am happy to answer questions and discuss responsibilities in more detail. 

To Volunteer...
Please email lauraveligor@gmail.com with the following info:

Your name and email address
Teacher’s name and cohort assigned (A, B, remote)

Returning room parents... thank you! Many of you already have expressed an interest in being room parents again this year. We are thrilled to have you back!!!

Best wishes for a happy and healthy year!

Thank you,
Laura Veligor
