Parents’ Association
The Parents’ Association is an organization led by volunteer parents. The mission is to strengthen relationships between the Academy staff, families, and students on campus. In order to create a positive experience for all stakeholders, the Parents’ Association is a formal link for our parents. All parents of students at the Academy are members of the Parents’ Association.
The Parents’ Association is the “front door” for the Academy families. We provide regular information to parents about the many opportunities available for volunteering. Throughout the year, a number of events are held for the benefit of our students and programs. Parental involvement in our activities is crucial to the school’s overall success.
The Parents’ Association is also involved in raising funds for the Parent Fund. This Fund is used to support classroom experiences, cultural events, gifts, and added opportunities that are needed that may not be in the school’s budget.
The Parents’ Association specifically seeks to:
- involve Academy parents and family members in campus and community activities that promote the school.
- support the efforts of the admissions office and staff.
- support the financial needs of the Academy through gifts to the Parents Fund.
- inform parents of Academy activities and plans.
- develop closer relationships between the Academy and the parents.
- create a positive and supportive atmosphere for all stakeholders.
