Parent Participation
Our school is run by parents. An Executive Board consisting of nine parents is in charge of the school's administration. Only our teachers are paid; everything else is accomplished by the parents of enrolled children. As you would expect, it takes a lot of effort and teamwork to make this happen, and it has been working successfully for over 60 years. While the time involved is substantial, we believe the community that develops is well worth the effort.
At a minimum, parents of children enrolled in the morning program participate by:
• Assisting as an aide one morning per week
• Providing three projects and leading one circle time per year
• Attending one business meeting per month
• Attending five parent education meetings per year
• Being “on call” as an emergency parent one day per month
• Performing a job (e.g., gardener, fundraiser, librarian, newsletter editor, snack buyer)
• Performing housekeeping and general maintenance 14 hours per school year
• Contributing both time and money to various fundraising programs
