[quote=Anonymous][quote]We are in MoCo and you are always allowed to volunteer to help the teachers and volunteer for holiday parties too so it's not like you are never allowed in the room [/quote]

This isn't true at our elementary school. You can't just volunteer to help at holiday parties, you have to request to be a room parent through the PTA and be selected. If you are not selected you can not go to the party to help. Room parents are restricted to only participating by running the two parties Halloween and Valentines day. There is no room parent or volunteer option to do anything inside your child's classroom. You can volunteer for many different functions but the options do not put you anywhere near your child.

At our ES I feel that the constant message from the principal is to keep the parents at bay. Parents are something to be avoided and have no role. Even at Back to School when it was raining all parents were kept outside until the exact minute when the event started. 10 minutes before it was scheduled to end, the principal came on over the PA announcing that BTS was ending promptly at X time and all parents must be out of the building by then. She then instructed teachers to say goodbye to everyone. It was just incredibly rude. [/quote]
