Room Representative
PTCO Lead: Rachel Murray
The PTCO Hospitality Committee proposes partnering with Adams teachers to identify a Room Rep for each classroom for the 2025–2026 school year.
This initiative could be introduced at the first Family Wednesday, highlighting classes that already have a rep and identifying those still in need of one.
Room Rep – PTCO Partnership�PTCO will work with teachers and the principal to determine appropriate times for Room Reps to support school-wide activities.
Potential areas of partnership include:
Next Steps
Hospitality Committee will be in touch the first few weeks of school with more information! Please reach out with any questions!
Increased this year to $5,000
