Parent and Support Clubs
Parent Involvement
Parent involvement in the schools is very high in the District. Open Houses, Parent-Teacher Conferences, and school performances are always well-attended. The Parents’ Clubs boast 90 to 95 percent membership participation rates. Parents volunteer to work in the classrooms, computer labs, libraries, and the food service programs. Parents often serve on one or more support group boards or district committees providing organizational support, or a community perspective to the schools.
Parent Clubs
Parents can help the schools in a variety of ways. The Parents’ Clubs manage and coordinate the volunteer effort at each school. The best time to sign-up to be a volunteer is in the spring when Clubs recruit volunteers for board positions, or at the beginning of the school year during registration. If you miss the opportunity to sign-up at these times, please contact the Parents’ Club President of your school.
Other Support Groups
Several organizations provide support to specific schools or programs in our District. They include six parents’ clubs that provide financial, volunteer and communications support to each elementary and secondary school.
As independent organizations with separate boards, these organizations coordinate fundraisers and volunteer efforts throughout the school year, fund general education, enrichment and extracurricular programs; administer teacher grant programs, and serve as the interface between the school and families through monthly board meetings and parent education forums. Information on parent clubs can be found on each schools’ website.
