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.
