Parent Involvement Program

PIP

Our school is a non-profit community school and requires that all parents participate by either serving on the parent board through once a month parent meetings, assisting in the classroom, helping with maintenance and cleaning, yard work, baking, sewing and/or other creative contributions so that we can maintain and improve our school community. Families are required to give twenty hours per year to our school community.

Our Parent Involvement Program (“PIP”) helps keep tuition cost down while building a community of students, teachers and parents.
