Each year the Parents & Citizens creates and maintains a list of family contact details. This list is sorted into classes/years and is distributed to the other parents whose children are in the same year. Children in composite classes are on both year's lists.
As children often have friends in the same year but a different class, the "Class Contact List" enables parents to contact other parents whose children are in the same year.
New parents and parents of Kindergarten children – how to join
The “Class Contact Lists” are frequently used and most families at school are part of the scheme.
To join the scheme, complete the online google form by clicking on the link – Class Contact online form or copy the following web address into your browser:
The P&C would like to confirm that parental permission is granted for the school to provide every child’s name and class number/letter to the P&C. The contact details you provide will be reused each year, unless you need to advise a change of details or request in writing to opt out of the scheme. When parents opt out of the class contact scheme, this means that they do not want their information shared with other parents and the class contact lists will not include them or be sent to them.
Parents of Year One to Year Six Children - how to join
Previously the Parents & Citizens advised that the information parents provided would be used in subsequent years, unless parents request in writing to opt out of the scheme.
How to Opt Out
If you no longer wish to be on the class parent list, please email mfpsclasscontact@gmail.com.
When parents opt out of the class contact scheme, this means that they do not want their information shared with other parents and the class contact lists will not include them or be sent to them.

Class Parents
Each year the P&C asks for at least one volunteer from each class to be a "Class Parent". Composite classes require two "Class Parents", one for each year.
Being a Class Parent is not difficult and involves:
Forwarding the Class contact list to the parent’s in your class when received from the co-ordinator
Forwarding emails to the parent’s in your class when received from the co-ordinator
arranging a few out-of-school social activities during the year (e.g. a playdate at a local park)
asking other parents in the same year to bake a cake or serve morning tea at ONE school event during the year (if we are able to hold events at the school due to COVID guidelines).
welcoming new families who may join the class throughout the year
assisting with any ongoing activities as required
organising a thank you for the teacher at the end of the year.
