Families
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.
Parents AssociationWelcome, families!
On behalf of the Parents Association, I’m thrilled to welcome both new and returning families into our community. Every parent/guardian of a Parker student is automatically a member of the PA.
Our goal is to enhance the Parker experience for students and families while supporting Parker’s mission. We organize mixers, host educational workshops, offer volunteer opportunities (big and small!), and facilitate communication with the school.
If your student is attending Parker this year, I encourage you to get involved with the PA in whatever way makes sense for you. It’s a wonderful way to meet other parents and support your student’s education!
Warm regards,
Tara Del Gaizo
Parents Association President
