Classroom Partners

A classroom partner is a parent volunteer that gives a few hours monthly to act as a liaison between the classroom teacher and the parents in the classroom.  Each teacher has different needs throughout the year, be it recruiting chaperones for a field trip, filling Thursday folders, or relaying upcoming events hosted by the school or the PTO.  Because Bryant is a multi-level school, the classroom teacher’s needs may vary according to the age of the child.  The classroom partner’s job is to create a working relationship with the teacher to support the teacher’s job educating our children.  

For any questions, please contact Classroom Partner coordinator Thea Drescher
