The PTA Needs You!
Many PTA Board positions are open for next year. Executive board positions have term limits, so new members are needed for our robust SCES PTA to continue. You don’t have to do it all, and there are plenty of returning members to guide you, and the outgoing volunteers are usually available to support your transition into the role as well!
The PTA organizes events:
- Welcome Back Social
- Scholastic Book Fair
- Poetry Night
- Math Night
- GeoBowl
- World Culture Day
- STEAM Fair
- Book Share
The PTA organizes the in-house Salamander Stride as our one fundraiser a year, keeping 100% of the profits!
Indoor recess games, outside soccer balls, affordable field trips, room parent coordination, T-shirts, safety signage, after-school activities, teacher appreciation, student advocacy, representation in the wider MCCPTA community…all happen because Sligo Creek has a PTA!

Room Parents
What is a room parent?
Room parents work closely with teachers to help make a fun and successful school year for everyone. Room parents are a critical support for classrooms.
We would like to have 2-3 room parents for each class, so if you are worried about doing it alone, the responsibilities will be shared.
Room parents have the support of:
- Room Parent Coordinators Amna Zahid and Tracy Reid. Connect with them here:
- A school-wide network of other room parents (most years, we have over 50 room parents!)
Together, room parents:
- Share information and resources with each other and with families of children in the class
- Learn from our experienced and new room parents alike
- Coordinate efforts within and between grade levels
- Coordinate class events, parties, and other fun stuff with teachers
- Coordinate class gifts and gifts to support staff throughout the year
- Help coordinate communication channels for the classroom via whatsapp, slack, etc.
Our goal is to develop positive relationships with our teachers, and build strong communication and support among our parent community.
Ready to help?
Let your teacher know at Back-to-School night, or via email at any time, that you would like to be a room parent! If you already agreed to be a room parent and have discussed it with your teacher, please email us so we can add you to our list.
If you’d like to learn more about room parents, have questions, or want to offer your talents, please get in touch.
