We welcome and encourage parent involvement in our school. There are many ways for parents to volunteer throughout the year. The goal of our Parents Association is to support the many aspects of the Nursery School program.
- Each class has two parents who liaise between the Parents Association and the parents in their children’s room.
- The Parents Association organizes coffees, lectures and class events throughout the year. Community is created as parents are also encouraged to plan family get-togethers and evening events after the school day ends. The Parents Association also runs fundraisers, including a book fair each fall and an evening gala event every third year.
- In the spring, each incoming family new to the school is partnered with a family presently enrolled. At a Welcome Coffee, parents can meet each other in a warm, casual atmosphere.
- The Parents Association also organizes numerous committees. They welcome parent involvement in planning events and Mitzvah projects throughout the year.
- Additional opportunities for parents to become involved in our school include helping the teachers organize class holiday parties, coming into the classroom to talk to the children about their careers, special interests or hobbies, and bringing a special project to school to share with your child’s room.
- Throughout the year, parents are invited to attend several all-school Nursery School holiday morning services held in our main sanctuary with our clergy.
- Parents may volunteer to read to their child’s class on Fridays and then stay to celebrate Shabbat with blessings, challah and candle lighting.
