Class Rep 2025-2026

PS 166 Class Parent Rep 2025-2026:

 

Thank you for sharing your interest in becoming a class rep for your classroom at PS 166.  

 

Purpose: The class rep is a wonderful opportunity to coordinate with teachers, Administration, PTA, and families to support the classroom and the school community in a positive and meaningful way.

 

The following guidelines provide an overview of the volunteer role for PS 166 Class Rep:

 

  1. There will be continual communication between yourself and the classroom teacher.  Some classroom teachers may ask you to share some weekly information and some teachers may do that directly themselves.  You will plan and collaborate with the classroom teacher about that.  Items for communication can range from class field trip chaperone interest to reminders about classroom time at the library coming up that week.
  2. The class rep will also plan to attend a monthly meeting with Principal Mastriano and Parent Coordinator Jennifer Passero.  This will be on zoom, with the possibility of some in person. This will be provided in smaller groups with K-1, 2-3, and 3-5 for most meetings.
  3. There will be an opportunity for the class rep to create an email chain and class chat.  There will be support on creating the norms for the class chat, if you create one of those for your class.  
  4. Finally, there will be communication between you as the class rep, other class reps, and the PTA Presidents.  This will be the opportunity to connect and plan or communicate about upcoming PTA Events.  The PTA will ask that you plan at least two free or low cost playdates for your class during the year.  There will be an opportunity to coordinate with your grade as well, if you would like. 

 

Thank you again for expressing your interest.  

 

Please feel free to ask your teacher or Parent Coordinator, Jennifer Passero, any further questions about the role of class rep.  

 

The teachers will communicate with their class about who will be the class rep.

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.
