We want to introduce the room parent concept (lead and assistant room parents)discussed in earlier posts in our school but are having a horrific time getting anywhere with it. We feel that since the room parents are all PTO members that we should be able to write a handbook for our members but our principal has told us that we should wait and do this next year. The whole conversation began over one year ago and she feels we still need to "talk some more about it". OK how much talk do we need?! Can we go ahead and write out a simple handbook so the lead and assistant room parents will have a guide w/o the principal's approval? Please let me know! By the way, several of the teachers had no idea this was a project we have been working on and are thrilled with it! Comments can be emailed to This email address is being protected from spambots.
