The Home & School Association is the liaison between the school and parents.
The Home & School Association is governed by a board of elected parent volunteers and includes at-large members supporting a variety of Home & School functions. Meetings are held once monthly, and all parents are invited to attend. In addition, we bring in guest speakers several times a year to discuss issues affecting our school and our children. Past topics have included topics such as internet safety and deep dives into extracurricular curriculum.

Families are required to participate in Scrip, a gift card program that kicks back a percentage of each purchase back to the school while also providing a deduction on tuition costs. A true win-win that ultimately costs you nothing!
Magazine Sale
In September, we hold our annual magazine sale. Students sell magazine subscriptions, food items and other goods to raise money for the school. Students with the highest sales are awarded special gifts at our annual Prize Fest.
