Northwood Owl Ambassadors
Would you like to get in touch with another family to learn more about the Northwood community and school? Our Northwood Owl Ambassadors will contact you by email in the near future to introduce themselves and answer any questions you may have.
If you would like to an owl ambassador to contact you, please email our Owl Ambassador Chair (owlambassador@northwoodowlspta.org). Let us know your student's name and teacher and someone will be in touch with you soon.
Room Parents for Each Class
Each classroom has a Room Parent who volunteers to help organize celebrations, share out any class-specific news and/or volunteer opportunities from the teacher. They may also organize class activities outside the school day as well and are a great resource to find out more about the classroom community, and the school in general.
To be added to the email list for your class' Room Parent, please reach out to our Room Parent Coordinator - RoomParentCoordinator@northwoodowlspta.org.
