[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow- not normal, IME. I was room parent a few times and there was no preferential treatment. Usually the teacher sent out a signup genius and it was first come, first serve (for the first trip) and for any additional, parents who had NOT chaperoned yet got first dibs.

For parties, it was also signup genius for helpers- but any parent was always welcome to join and that was clearly stated.

This only seemed to be an issue in the very young grades. Usually by later elementary it was hard to find volunteers. [/quote]

Our teacher uses sign up genius, but I’m still iced out as a new parent to the community. Despite a note on the sign up page that parent should sign up for one slot, there are a handful of known moms who sign up for all the slots. For example, story reader. There is a slot once a week and we have never had the chance to read in class. This weekend DC’s grandma is visiting and I looked months ago to sign up for her and of course the slot is already full with someone who has already volunteered in class multiple times and various roles.
