Parker’s core value of Inclusive Community extends to family members, who can support our mission by volunteering, joining a board or committee, or simply enjoying community events throughout the year.

Dear Parents & Guardians,

On behalf of the Parents Association (PA), welcome to the 2025-2026 school year at Francis Parker School! Whether you’re new or returning, the PA is thrilled to have you as part of the community. As a parent at Francis Parker School, you are automatically a member of the PA. Our purpose is to enrich your experience by providing opportunities to engage in School life, volunteer your time and talents, and connect with other families throughout the year.

Participating in the PA is a wonderful opportunity to meet fellow parents while contributing to our School community. There are numerous ways to get involved that fit your schedule.

Here are a few ways to get involved:

  • Join us at our general meetings to receive updates about our community and hear from inspiring guest speakers.
  • Connect with other parents at grade-level parent mixers, coffees, and meet-ups.
  • Read the PA section of weekly announcements from the Parker Family Connection and sign up to volunteer for events throughout the year.

Our goal is to enhance your Parker parent experience while supporting the School's mission, vision, and values. Together, we can strengthen our Parker community throughout the 2025-26 academic year.

Warm regards,

Priya Patel Singh & Claudia Wornovitzky
Parents Association Co-Presidents
