[quote=Anonymous]In my experience, an email from the PTO is sent out asking for volunteers for room parents at the beginning of the year.  If no one responds, the PTO head asks the people she knows in the class without room parents.  I have 3 kids and was room parent multiple times.  I would have been perfectly happy is someone reached out to me and asked if they could be co-room parent with me (stating this in case OP is interested in becoming a room parent and didn’t  know who you should ask).  I also kept things very low key and didn’t stress over parties. For example, Some room parents were into organizing elaborate activities or crafts for parties, I saw kids were happy playing cards or board games and doing coloring sheets/mazes that I could print from online so didn’t bother with trying to figure out anything complex. I would always ask parents in the class if anyone wanted to organize anything for the parties and often would get 2-3 people willing to do so. Basically, you can make the role as difficult or easy as you want.  For gifts, I would leave this up to each parent. I tried to organize a class gift one year and it seemed people like to give separately anyway.  The teachers always seem to end up with plenty of gifts that I didn’t think there was much value in organizing something centrally. [/quote]
