Room Parents and Helpers support the teachers' work with our children. A Room Parent works closely with the teacher to keep up-to-date with planned classroom activities and learns how parents can help. The Room Parent, along with the Room Parent Helper, informs classroom parents of volunteer needs in the classroom and coordinates volunteer resources in the classroom.

Parents usually help by providing healthy refreshments for events, chaperoning a field trip, talking to the class about their career and/or college experience and helping out on Field Day. Party Helpers are also needed to serve and aassist at any of the three classroom parties traditionally scheduled for Anderson Mill Students: the Winter Holiday Party (on the last day of school before Winter Break), a Valentines Day Party and the End of School Party. The Room Parent also coordinates the classes' participation in Teacher Appreciation Events.

In order to share upcoming events and classroom needs, the Room Parent will ask for parent's contact information (phone number and/or email addresses). PTA encourages all parents to provide this information.

Volunteering in the classroom is sure to be fun, very rewarding, a way to meet your child's friends and their parents, and is always much appreciated by teachers. If you haven't signed up as a Classroom or Party Helper, or if you would like to be the Home Room Parent, please contact Kirstin Seale, PTA President at 258-3363 (between 9-7). Information about who your Room Parent and Helpers are is available from Anderson Mill's website at www.roundrockisd.org/andersonmill, Parent Resources, PTA, Committees.
