Class Rep Responsibilities


Thank you for taking on the role as class rep for your child’s class!

Role of a class rep:  To serve as a liaison between the classroom teacher and the class, as well as an active member of the PTO. 

Some of the PTO Class Rep responsibilities include: 

  • Introduce yourself as Class Rep to the teacher and parents and ask the teacher about what kind of help they’d most like from you/the PTO. 
  • Attend most of the PTO meetings to learn about PTO events as well as school happenings.
  • Help encourage or organize a class gift for your classroom before the holiday break and for the class teacher(s) at the end of the year.
  • ​Maintain a class email list and disseminate information to families as needed

Monthly Breakdown:

September:  
Introduce yourself as Class Rep to the teacher and ask how you/the PTO can be of help this year.  Send along a short message that the teacher can send out to the parents. 

Ask if your teacher would like help in applying for a fall or spring grant. Assist teacher if needed. 

November:
  • If you are a class rep for grades K-3, your classes are responsible for the Fall Feast.  A spreadsheet will be created by the PTO for you to send to your class.  The Fall Feast is a luncheon for MCS staff.

December:
  • Holiday Gift: PTO Sunshine Committee will pair each homeroom teacher up with another member of the MCS staff.  PTO Sunshine Committee will also organize a questionnaire so room reps have ideas for how best to thank their teachers/staff members.  Class reps send out an email to the class about a collection for the Holiday gift(s) for the teachers. Parents are not required to donate to this- this is entirely optional. Room reps organize buying the gift and delivering it to the teachers. 

February:
  • The Valentine’s Day Breakfast is put on by grades 4-6.  The Valentine's Day Breakfast is a staff appreciation breakfast for all MCS staff.  A spreadsheet will be created by the PTO for you to send to your class requesting items for the breakfast. 

May: 
  • Pie Day: This is a tradition at MCS where every single employee of the school receives a pie in recognition of Teacher Appreciation Day. A spreadsheet will be sent out to all from the Sunshine Committee, but at times, class reps may be asked to send out a reminder if more pies are needed.

June:
  • End of year gift giving is the last event of the year and last responsibility of the class rep. PTO Sunshine Committee will be using the same pairing and questionnaire as used at holiday time.  Class reps send out an email to the class about a collection for the end of year gift(s) for the teacher and aide(s), coordinate purchasing the gift, and delivering the gift.
