Parent Council Guidelines
Class representatives are parents who are elected by their child's class to represent them. Here are some general guidelines for class representatives:
1. The purpose of class representatives is to act as a liaison between the teacher, the parent council and the parents of their child's class. It is important for them to effectively convey the class activities and provide information about the parent council.
2. Class representatives are elected by the parents of their child's class, and elections take place during the Open House event.
3. Class representatives should establish and maintain transparent communication channels with the parents of their child's class. It is crucial for them to be easily reachable and approachable, actively encouraging and seeking feedback and input from the parents.
4. Class representatives should uphold the core values of the school, which define the expected conduct within our CNG community. Additionally, they should promote inclusivity, ensuring that all parents and students feel welcomed and included.
5. Class representatives should prioritize the concerns and interests of the parents in their child's class, while also considering the well-being of the school and the wider community.
6. Class representatives should be accountable for their actions and decisions. They should keep accurate records, and maintain financial transparency when handling classroom voluntary quota.
7. Class representatives should possess sufficient availability to actively participate in class activities and promptly share all relevant information.
8. Class representatives can only represent one class per year and grade level.
9. Class representatives assume the responsibility of being the "Proyecto Vida" coordinator. It is their duty to recruit participating parents and assign specific roles for each lesson. They should also be in charge of collecting the necessary materials and picking up the key for the sessions.
