This. But those who have never done it or asked about it just assume the room parent is electing to spend money on an unnecessary party or gift. It is not only expected at our school, we get a form email to send out at the beg. of the year that tells parents we are collecting for three gifts and two parties. The Fcps policy allows for two class parties per year. It’s beyond me why so many of you don’t get this. The only thing I can think of is that you’re either new to the elementary school scene or have not involved yourself in how it works at all. This is how it is done at lots of schools, every class, every year. [/quote]

It's also not done that way at lots of schools.  My kids have attended 2 different FCPS schools, and we've been in the FCPS school scene for 6 years.  No money has ever been collected for a group gift, and signup genius is used for all of the parties.  Neither school has had room parents, and the PTA has handled the teacher appreciation week stuff.  It all works wonderfully this way, so it's mind boggling to me that other schools need room parents, a bunch of group gifts, and requests for lots of money.  [/quote]
