[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're starting our two kids at a new private this fall and I was a little bummed to go to the new parent reception and realize that both room parent roles were assigned last spring before we knew they were available. Not that I have a ton of extra time for volunteering but I was planning to suck it up and get involved in year 1 to get us all better acclimated to the new school. Hopefully next year.[/quote]

There are plenty of opportunities to get involved.  Also, I think it is better for everyone to know something about the school before you are a room parent.  There's no way I could have done it the first year my kid was in a school and I don't think I would have been at all helpful to other families or the kids if I had tried.[/quote]

+2.  Let me gently suggest that if you are new to a private school and think you would make a good room parent your first year (especially in a K class), you consider taking your foot off the gas a bit and listening a little more before you talk.  [/quote]
