How can I get involved?
- RSVP YES! Attend school coffees, speakers, or fundraising events to meet other parents in a relaxed and social situation.
- Schedule play dates to meet your children's friends, and their families.
- Volunteer when you are able to help teachers in the classroom.
- Host or help out with school parties and celebrations.
- Cheer on the school at sporting events, concerts, and theatrical performances.
You will soon get to see the whole school community in action, and enjoy getting to know your child's teachers, friends and families.
family involvement is valued and encouraged.
Faculty and administrators work hard to cultivate parent volunteers and to develop appropriate opportunities for them to get involved at school. Don't hesitate to raise your hand if you have a question.
