Parent’s Association

St. John’s Parents’ Association (PA) is comprised of all families enrolled in our school. We invite you to be involved by chairing, serving on a committee, volunteering, or attending our events.

 

Get Involved!

The Parents’ Association is always looking for volunteers to help coordinate or assist with activities. Check out our SignUpGenius (SUG) pages to see if you can lend a hand! 2024-2025 Chairperson SUG.

If you have any questions, please reach out to our Volunteer Coordinator, Ashley Marsilio, for additional details.

 

Mission

The purpose of the Parents’ Association (PA) is to promote a sense of community among the parents, teachers, staff, and administration and to provide strong communication between parents and the school. We also assist in the preservation of the unique culture and atmosphere of the school by promoting the pledge and mission, and sponsoring activities, events and programs that enrich our students’ educational experience. The funds raised by the Parents Association (PA) are used to support those initiatives. Please feel free to contact Committee Members at any time throughout the school year. 

 

Parent support is critical to the success of our events, and we look forward to an incredible year with your help. Without parent volunteers, our events cannot meet their full potential. There are many opportunities to volunteer. Contact your Room Parent or visit Volunteer Opportunities for information as well. If you have any questions or would like to volunteer for a particular event, please contact any of the PA executive committee members.
