Becoming a Class Parent is a great opportunity to meet other parents and help enhance our our community.
Dorothy Lynas Class Reps play a key role in assisting the PAC to communicate information to the rest of the class.
How do I get involved?
Reach out to the PAC Executive to volunteer for your class! Please note that this role does not represent the school and is not a school sponsored position.
General responsibilities include:
Coordinate fun and social stuff for your class – recruit other parents to help!
- Get to know the other class parents and act as a link to the PAC.
- Facilitate connections among parents in your class by facilitating a class chat in Konstella and sharing contact information for those who wish to share it!
PAC communications and coordination:
- Act as a liaison between the Parent Advisory Council (PAC) and your class parents.
- Share information on behalf of the PAC to inform and remind your class of upcoming PAC events and initiatives at Dorothy Lynas.
- Help organize PAC-related fundraising initiatives for your class such as Seycove Family of Schools Auction Baskets and Purdy’s Chocolate pick ups.
- Organize holiday and end of year gifts for your teacher if your class chooses to!
Please note this role no longer involves liaising with your classroom teacher and is only a PAC communications role.
Teachers are responsible for:
- Communicating information that all parents need to know.
- Planning field trips, including the collection of money and making the driving list for the office.
- Maintaining class websites
Class Rep Time Commitment:
- A couple hours per month
- Varies at busy times
Ideally, the Class Rep is a good communicator with basic technology skills. With the support of the PAC executive, Class Reps should have a good understanding of the policies and ethics of confidentiality, including:
- DL PAC Code of Conduct
- Awareness of Konstella App
