Become a Class Captain

Class Captains play an integral role at SMS, and volunteering for this position is a wonderful way to become involved in your child's class.  There are up to three Class Captains per teacher.

Responsibilities include:

  • Assisting with organized class events
  • Providing such other assistance as your teacher requests
  • Collecting monetary contributions from the class families and organizing teacher gifts, including gifts and other gestures during "Teacher Appreciation Week"
  • Communicating information from your teacher and the PTA to the class families 

If you are interested in serving as a Class Captain, please submit a Class Captain Volunteer Form.  If more than three people volunteer for a particular class, a lottery will be held.  We will ask those selected to attend a Class Captain Orientation Meeting following drop-off at 8:15 a.m. at the Big School on Friday, September 26.
