Sign Up to Be A Class Parent!
Greenwood School Class Parents help to streamline communication--questions and information--to and from teachers, serve as resources for other parents, and help teachers with crafts, projects and volunteer recruitment. As volunteers are allowed back in the school buildings this year, the role of the class parent will continue to evolve and we will be flexible according to the current needs of our teachers and kids. Read on for more details about what the Class Parent role will look like this year.
Email PTOBoard@greenwoodpto.org with questions or fill out the form at the bottom of this page to volunteer. If multiple parents from a class are interested, the role can be shared.
