SFCC Grade Representatives
Grade Reps are like traditional “room parents” that assist their classrooms by distributing news and information to Students and their Families, and by helping their Teachers with their classroom needs like volunteers or supplies. Grade Reps can also bring any questions or concerns from their classroom’s families to the SFCC to work together on addressing those issues.
The SFCC holds elections for Grade Representatives at the final meeting of the school year and again at the first meeting of the next year. Grade Reps may serve a two-year term. Elementary and Middle School elections are staggered so that only one group of Grade Representatives will be new in any given year.
Grade Representatives
If you need to know who your Grade Rep is or if you are interested in representing your student’s grade for the SFCC, please contact Family & Community Engagement Co-Chairs Molly Mara and Lindsay Stoelting.
