Homeroom Parents will assist teachers by sending home requests for parent donations for party items only.  Most of the parties will require donations in the form of food items, craft items, and/or paper goods.   An easy way to ask for items is by creating a sign up using SignUp Genius or SignUp.com

​

The following dates/times have been set by the school administration for parties this school year...

​

​

​

​

• Communicate with your teacher about party plans about 1 month before the party date and verify the party supplies needed.  Also, please confirm the date and time with your teacher as sometimes this will get adjusted as the year goes on.  Some parties will be coordinated as a team, so be prepared to work with parents from other classrooms if necessary.  Typical parties include children moving throughout the room to various stations on their own, playing games and having light refreshments.

 

• Coordinate each party for your class by contacting parents and requesting volunteers to assist in various ways – assisting with the party, providing requested supplies, snacks, etc., and/or helping children with hands-on activities.  The use of an on-line sign up works best in getting parents to volunteer to bring in items.

 

• Please give all parents an opportunity to participate and contribute.  Also, please remember to offer various options for parents to choose what they want to donate or how they want to assist.

 

***Please be advised of the new District guidelines for food brought to school for classroom parties.

“Food brought into the classroom must be store-bought or purchased from LTISD Food & Nutrition Services.  Other than fruits and vegetables, food must be delivered to the classroom in the original packaging.”
