I’m a working/stay at home parent I’d like to volunteer but have limited time what can I do?

All parents are welcome and encouraged to volunteer as much as they would like and their schedule allows. Many standing committees need help for a day or a few hours. For, example, the Book Fair held in the school and run by parents often needs people to help people choose books for a specific time period, i.e., 2-4p.m. or 6-8 p.m. Help is also needed for our various fundraisers, this can be an ongoing commitment or a commitment for a day or for a few hours. If you are unsure what you can do, you may contact the president of the H.S.A., talk to other parents, or respond to various notices soliciting volunteers that you will receive either from your class parent or which you may see on the website.

What is back to school night?

Back to school night occurs at the beginning of the school year. Parents are invited into the classrooms to meet with the teachers, see the classroom and gain more insight into the year’s curriculum. It is at this meeting that the year’s curriculum is handed out along with teacher contact information and a discussion of how grading will occur, and what will be expected of your child academically and individually.

What if I can’t make back to school night?

You may send a request to the school office for the printed materials to be sent home with your child.
