Parent Participation
Member families are required to participate in the planning and operation of the school. A thorough description of these responsibilities will be given when you join the school. The minimum responsibilities to the school are:
- At least one parent must work at the school from 8:30 a.m. until 1:00 p.m., either 3, 4, or 5 days per month, depending on the number of days per week their child attends. Workdays will always be on the same day of the week.
- At least one parent must attend 2 parent meetings per month, which fall on the 1st and 3rd Thursday evenings, at 7:30 p.m., and are held at the school.
- At least one parent must actively participate in all fundraising activities.
- Each family must participate in school-wide maintenance days, which are held on the third Saturday of each month. The maintenance requirement changes year to year, and is currently 1 1/2 hours per family, every other month. The first and last maintenance days of the year are mandatory for all members.
- Each family will be scheduled in advance to work in the kitchen every 6 weeks or so. Working in the kitchen includes providing snack for the 10:00 a.m. snack time, as well as cleaning the kitchen and bathrooms.
- Each member family is required to hold a job for the school. This job can be anything from President of the Board, to Scheduling, to Laundry. New families will be asked to select a job from a list provided at the first parent meeting of the year.
