Dear Parents,
We are looking for parents from grades PreK3 through 7th grade (8th grade Room Parents have already been set) who would like to volunteer their time, energy, and enthusiasm to be a Room Parent for the 2024-2025 school year. If you would like to volunteer, please read the responsibilities below and kindly complete this form no later than Tuesday, September 10th. Once volunteers are chosen, the Room Parent meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 17th at 2 pm in the OLGC cafeteria.
We would like to thank you in advance for your continued support of Our Lady of Good Counsel School. We will notify you as soon as possible if you have been selected. Room Parents will need to attend a Virtus training session and be fingerprinted to comply with Diocesan policies.
Sincerely,
