PSP Team Involvement
Would you like to help make important decisions that guide the enrichment programs and community events at our school? With the PSP (Parent School Partnership), there are several ways to participate, and some specific ways to help organize school-wide events.
If you are interested in working with a group of dynamic, dedicated parents on the PSP board for the 2022-2023 school year. Please send any questions or a completed PSP Team Application to GatewayPSP@rafos.org. We look forward to hearing from you!

CLASSROOM ROLES
NOTE: Room Parent, Historian, Art Docent, and Music Docent will all be determined by teachers and shared with PSP when needed. The PSP team and/or leads will then reach out to these volunteers to organize orientations and share necessary information.
Room Parents
The role of a room parent is a lot of fun! It is a great way to
get to know your child’s teacher and peers either in person or
virtually!
Your role as a room parent is to help assist and support the teacher
with at-home projects, class parties, core knowledge celebrations, PSP
events that have student participation like the scarecrow, auction,
and teacher appreciation week. There is a lot you can do in a virtual
capacity, depending on the capacity we can be on campus. We’ve done
virtual class parties, fun Fridays, and core knowledge celebrations.
It may take a little more creativity and planning, to plan activities
but you can collaborate with other room parents in your grade level
and across the school in our Room Parent Facebook group and Pinterest page for ideas!
Historians
Historians will assist teachers in gathering photos and information needed to pass on to the Yearbook team.
Art Docents –
No experience is needed to be an art docent, but doing it the art lessons virtually computer or zoom experience is helpful. Download (from the art docent air table where we store the slide shows) or make a slide show about art history based on the theme. Prepare a prerecorded Zoom video or Google Slides presentation so that the teacher can access it A lesson ranges in time 30 to 40 min video. Plan to read over the art history ahead of time, so it is a bit more fluid during your recording. Email it to the teacher so that you and the teacher are prepared for the lesson, also let the teacher know what supplies will be needed. Here is an example:
