ClassroomAngel is an app, primarily for K-5 Room Parents, to simplify their volunteer work allowing them to spend their time and energy towards building healthy parent-child-teacher relationships. With ClassroomAngel, the Room Parent can collect funds, communicate with classroom parents, and manage the admin activities that come with being a room parent. We will soon add a short introduction video explaining how this happens.
For everyone regardless if your role is a room parent, parent, caregiver, teacher, and even for our (future release) “Angels,” it starts with signing up. We ask for your name and email. For security, we then email you your initial password. Once logged in, you continue on the process depending on your role. Each role has a step-by-step process that can be revisited anytime to finish or edit.
ClassroomAngel was built by parents, teachers, and especially room parents with many years of experience. ClassroomAngel is the only app designed by and for Room Parent and classroom parent management. From experience, handling others money, using multiple communication channels, and keeping Excels/Google Sheets took too much time and resulted in too many errors. We are just get started; we hope that you share your experience - both good and bad - with us directly Contact Us.
To gain access to the classroom financials and communication tools, you need to be verified by a Room Parent. If you only want to contribute and don’t need access to the classroom information, find the classroom in the directory and send us the information. We will connect you to the Room Parent. If you are not tay up-to-date with ClassroomAngel by subscribing on our Contact Page or find us on the social media channel of your choice: Twitter, Instagram, Facebook
The service is free for parents and caregivers. For the Room Parent, there is a one-time set-up fee of $15 only. This small fee helps pay for the service and also contributes to KYC (Know Your Customer) that we have in place as added protection for you. While talking with Room Parents, this fee was "a few cups of coffee" and seemed to be a fair cost. Should you need financial assistance, contact us. In the future, the service might offer contributions through the app. In this future scenario, a small percentage of each transaction might be taken to to cover bank, other fees, and an end-to-end integrity check by vetting each classroom.
The Room Parent or the person who set up the classroom are the only ones that are able to verify parents and caregivers. Reach out to them directly or contact us with the school name, grade level, and teacher’s full name.
The budget and calendar are one-in-the-same, meaning that any budget item must be associated with a calendar event. ClassroomAngel has a "General Account" set up as your first event. This is for general contributions not tied to a specific event; however, at a later date, those funds can be put towards a specific event. Calendar events can have a zero budget.
When the Room Parent withdrawals funds from the budget, they tie that withdrawal to an event. Remember, it can also come from the General Account event. After deciding which event to withdrawal from, the Room Parent identifies that person who should be reimbursed. Most often, this is the Room Parent who has used the funds to make a purchase but it can also be tied to a verified member of the classroom. The amount is then added and “Withdrawal Funds” is clicked. This ties the information back to the budget and in the report.
If you or your classroom is experiencing financial difficulty, please fill out this form so we can best determine how to help. After completing, we will try our best to be in touch as soon as possible.
Great! We're glad you're here to help. Having contributions from non-verified people will come in a future release. If you know the Room Parent, we encourage you to reach out directly. You can also contact us and we'll be happy to assist. Again, we will have "Angel" contributions working so please follow us witter, Instagram, Facebook for this announcement.
