Parent Involvement

Parent involvment is one of the founding principles of education at Peninsula School. Did you know that Peninsula school was founded as a "parent-teacher cooperative"? We need every parent to volunteer and get involved. It makes a difference in more ways than you think! What are the expectations of Parent Involvement at Peninsula School? Every parent gets involved. Every Parent: Gives what they consider a valuable and significant contribution of their time each year — a commitment they can definitely uphold Considers their own time commitments and chooses their involvement so it works with other commitments Helps in some way with all three major parent events (Craft Fair, Auction and Spring Fair) Takes on the management or leadership of one parent event, activity or program they feel strongly about during their tenure at Peninsula School Joins in to manage, coordinate, facilitate and develop the participation levels of new parents coming into the community Supports every coordinator-knowing the tables might be turned the next time around If you haven't filled out the volunteer interest form, please download it and drop it off at the main office at school.
