Parent Association

As a parent at The Village School, you are automatically a member of the Parent Association, a dynamic, close knit community of like-minded people.  Our purpose is to:

• Foster community and school spirit
• Compliment the educational process through a variety of enrichment activities and events
• Support the teachers
• Enhance communication
• Promote parent involvement

As a member of the PA we invite you to be a part of all meeting and volunteer opportunities.

The Parent Association sponsors several events and programs each school year.  Below is the schedule of what we have planned so far for this year!  Please check back frequently for updates and new events!
