Mission PTA
Class Reps

One of the most important roles on the PTA is the Class Representative — or “Class Rep” for short. Every grade level needs at least one official Class Rep to serve as the liaison between the PTA and grade-level families (ideally, one per classroom). It’s a simple but meaningful way to stay connected, support your teacher, and help build a stronger school community.

Here’s what the role looks like:

• Be a friendly point of contact. Help share PTA info and events with your class, and be available if parents have questions. You don’t need to know all the answers — just help connect them to someone who does.

• Stay in the know. We’d love for you to attend PTA meetings when you can. If you have to miss one, no worries — a liaison will send you a quick recap with anything you need to share.

• Share updates by email. After each PTA meeting, you’ll get a ready-to-go email with PTA announcements. You can copy and paste it (and tweak as needed) to send to your class and teacher. Easy!

• Post to your class Facebook page. If your class has a group, feel free to post there too. Not on Facebook? No problem — you can ask another parent to help with that part.

• Help round up volunteers for your class carnival booth. You don’t need to plan the booth, just help gather a few parents to fill the time slots for your class or grade’s station in October.

• Lend a hand for Teacher Appreciation. PTA plans a fun week in May to celebrate our amazing teachers. We’ll give you ideas and support — you’ll just help coordinate small touches like breakfast, flowers, or cards. You’re also welcome to help organize other simple appreciation gestures throughout the year.

It’s a fun and rewarding way to get involved — and we’ll give you everything you need to make it easy. Thank you for considering being a Class Rep! If this sounds like something you’d like to do, please email classreps@missionpta.org.
