REGISTER Events & Activities
Many events and activities occur during the school year offering a wide variety of opportunities for families to support the school and to foster new relationships.
A number of small group committees help to plan and organize these events and activities, each group contributing to the overall mission of the Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) of fostering a sense of community.
The Parent Advisory Committee’s role is to help build a sense of community among families and staff through activities and ongoing school-wide communication. With the help of parent volunteers, PAC provides support for all school programs and is an avenue for parent feedback, which is used to shape the direction of The School.
