Be An Ambassador Family

Holy Rosary Family Ambassador LogoEach year, volunteers act as ambassadors to our new families joining Holy Rosary School.

The role of an Ambassador Family is a short and easy commitment of helping another family make the transition into our school a little smoother. Each Ambassador Family will be matched up with a newly enrolled family and asked to do the following:

This Spring:

  1. Call your family and introduce yourself. Explain the Ambassador program and invite your family to the last Parents Club meeting of the year. It would be a nice gesture if you offered to pick them up or to meet them at the meeting. Give them your phone number and tell them to please call with any questions.

This August:

  1. Call your family in mid-August to make sure they received the packet of information from the school and to answer any questions.
  2. Make sure your family understands the schedule for the first week of school. Kindergarten students dismiss at 10:00AM on the first day of school, and dismiss at noon the remainder of the week. Be sure they know that school dismisses at 2:15PM on Wednesdays through out the school year.
  3. Open House "Back to School Night". Explain the importance of the evening and the expectation that both parents attend. Remind them to make childcare arrangements for the evening.
  4. Invite your family to the first Parents Club meeting in September.
  5. Be sure your family understands how important the eFC is. If they get in the habit of reading the FCE, they should stay will informed and it will be easy for them to get connected to our community. Review the terms of volunteer hours: 25 outreach hours and 25 fundraising hours, and ways they can earn them. Also encourage them to read the Family Handbook.
  6. If you have a family with older children coming into the upper grades, talk to them about class specific information. (5th grade - spring campout, etc.)

If you and your family are interested in volunteering for the Ambassador program, please download the Ambassador Family Volunteer form (52k PDF) or signup online, fill it out and return in the FCE.
