Each grade has a parent volunteer who serves as a representative for that grade. They help kick off social events, monitor Konstella conversations, and amplify grade-level needs and concerns. Their role is to keep a finger on the pulse of the community with the mission to Foster Community, Communication, and Scholar Support.

The Parent Club enables the school to offer a variety of programs that would be unavailable without the generous support of the parent community. Our funding covers both staffing and program expenses.
The Parent Club works closely with the principal to understand the school’s goals and financial needs and establishes an annual budget. Parent Club funds provide the school with flexibility, since our funds are free of the mandated spending restrictions that accompany many other school-funding sources. Thank you for your support!
The Parent Club helps fund the following areas:
PE Teacher and PE Plus
Outreach Specialist
School Counselor
Classroom Supplies
LEAP teacher-led art classes
Enrichment programs
Fall Theater Program and Spring Musical
Field Trip Scholarships
Instrumental Music Program
Teacher Appreciation
Technology Equipment
School Social Events like the Fall Festival, Family Dance and Family Dodgeball
