Class Parents

  

Class Rep

Class reps are an integral part in helping our school function more effectively by ensuring that every family is aware of all goings-on at P.S. 666, from important academic information to class parties to school-wide community events.  We are grateful for those that volunteer to be a class rep!

Typical Responsibilities of the Class Rep Include:

  • Internal Class List: The purpose of this internal class list, which usually includes email and/or phone contact information for all class families, is to facilitate communications between the teacher/school and/or PTA and class families. 

  • PTA communications: Class reps should forward emails from the PTA and SLT representatives to your class families to keep them informed.

  • Classroom Communications: Class reps will also be asked to communicate classroom needs, in partnership with the teacher, including:

    • Opportunities to help with classroom/curriculum-driven events, such as publishing celebrations (e.g. coordinating food) and holiday celebrations; 

    • Publicizing/assisting with grade specific projects, events, and trips, such as class trip and special PTA-driven projects

RE: Reminder Regarding Holiday Gifts

During this holiday season, we thank you for your public service. We also want to remind you of the public trust we all hold as City employees. As part of that trust, you may not accept gifts or favors in connection with your City employment.

Violations of these rules impact public confidence in City government. Violations may also result in serious penalties for you personally. Therefore, we want to remind you of the prohibition against gifts or favors and ask you to help inform and remind your colleagues of these rules to assist them in avoiding problems, as well. Key rules to remember include:

  • City employees may not accept gifts or "tips" for doing their City jobs, nor may they receive any gifts from any person or firm doing business with the City, or from any person or firm whose interests may be affected by their actions as City employees.
  • Superiors may not accept holiday gifts from their City subordinates, except gifts of nominal value, namely where the "thought of giving" has greater value than the gift itself. A gift may not exceed $10, whether given by an individual or group.
  • City employees may not accept offers of free attendance at holiday parties or events sponsored by outside entities that are doing business with the City, unless they are given permission to do so in writing by their agency head because their attendance at the event would further a legitimate City purpose related to their City job. You do not need that special permission if you pay for your ticket to the event.
