Thank you so much for volunteering, & now that you've received communication from your teacher that you've been selected please continue reading! 

Any questions, reach out to Alyssia at azimmaro@copperbeechpta.com

Here are some action items, templates and documents to help you throughout the year. 


  1. Send an email to the Teacher:  Introduce yourself as the liaison & ask what events they would like to do this year so you can plan accordingly.

     

  2. Intro Email to families: Update this and ask Teacher to email to all families or you can print copies and have them distribute (see tab labeled "Classroom Intro Letter").

     

  3. Email List form, you can include this link with intro email or make paper copies. It's up to you depending how you want to organize it (see tab labeled "Voluntary Class Contact List").

     

  4. Favorite List: The PTA created a google form to gather this information from your Teacher so it can be used every year for gift giving/reference. We will be sending out a link so you can view your Teacher's favorites to help with planning this year.  We included the link here too in case your teacher didn't complete the form. (see tab labeled "Teacher's Picks"). The results from this form can be found on the tab called ("Teacher's Favorites Results").

     

  5. Holiday Letter to Class:  Typically send this in November to collect for Teacher's gift in December. (see tab labeled "Holiday Note").

     

  6. Teacher Appreciation Week (early May): Typically send this in early April. Send out this letter to collect for this and end of the year gift.  (see tab labeled "Teacher Appreciation Note").

     

You can get creative if your teacher supports your ideas!  Have fun & know that you are helping to make a difference in your child's life, other children's lives, & your teachers. 

Something as simple as a VidHug makes a lasting thank you for your teacher/classroom. <3

Dear Parents,

Hello! My name is XXXX and I am very excited to introduce myself  as  parent liaisons this school year. We are looking forward to helping out and making this year a success for our students and their wonderful teacher. As parents, we can help XXXX with a variety of activities throughout the year. We will be coordinating that help, but we can’t do it without you. Primarily, parents are asked to help with the Halloween, Valentine’s Day, and the End of the Year parties. There may also be a need for assistance with other events and activities, including the Publishing Center Celebration at the end of the year.

We are also here to act as liaisons between the parents of Mrs. XXX class and the PTA. If you have any PTA related questions, please feel free to contact us. If we don’t have the answers for you, we will make sure we find out who does.

Please email or complete the bottom portion of this letter and return it to us as soon as possible so that we can add you to our distribution list. This way we can keep you informed of the specific event details, teacher gift collections, and other PTA news.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us:

 

 

Thanks in advance for all of your help! It’s going to be a great year!

This is where we need your help. Please fill out this form so that we can surprise you with the things you really like. Thank you!

The Holidays are quickly approaching!  Let’s make sure we don’t forget to show our appreciation for all that XXXXX does for our children by getting  a nice holiday gift.  During the next two weeks, we will be collecting donations for a group gift.  All donations are voluntary and any contribution is welcome. We will be getting her a gift card for one of her favorite shops.

Please return your donation by Friday, December xx.  Again, your contribution is entirely voluntary.   You can send your donation in and address the envelope to XXX, her child is xxx.

Thank you for your participation – please feel free to let us know if you have any questions.

Happy Holidays!

Dear Parents,
Teacher appreciation week is May xxxx.  This is a wonderful opportunity to show xxxxxx how much they mean to all of us! Half of the funds contributed will be saved towards an end of year gift.  This way parents won’t be asked to send in two separate contributions. 

If you are able to contribute, please send in with your child and mark the envelope attention XXXX or you can venmo me at (XXXXXX  no later than XXXXX. Any amount would be wonderful.
 
Just a note that we are collecting money for Teacher appreciation and end of the year gifts. 
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. 
Thank you for all of your support this year!
