In countless ways, large and small, our amazing Parents’ Association helps to sustain a welcoming and inclusive school community. Whether you have five minutes or five hours, there are countless opportunities to get involved—and every contribution makes a difference. From volunteering at events to sharing ideas or lending a hand behind the scenes, parents and guardians are not only encouraged to engage—they’re an essential part of what makes our community thrive.
This day connects the students to the larger community in such an impactful way.
Parent Talks
Led by educators, authors and guest speakers, these informative talks provide an opportunity to learn more about parenting and child development.
Volunteer Opportunities
Parent volunteers facilitate many of our community events, but there are also smaller opportunities to help out including tying skates and chaperoning ice time during the winter. Volunteering is a great way to participate in the life of the school and make friends.
