Why should I get involved with the Parent & Family Group?
There are many reasons to get involved! The most important is the sense of community that it fosters at the school.
Do I have to be a member of the Parent & Family Group?
As a parent or guardian of a student attending St. Paul School of Northern Lights or a permanent staff member at the school, you are automatically a member!
What happens at a board meeting?
A typical meeting follows this format:
20 minute circle
40 minute business meeting (board members give updates, approve expenses, etc.)
20 minutes of snacks and mingling, a great chance to connect with people and make plans to work together outside of board meetings
Do I need to RSVP for a meeting?
You do not need to RSVP for a meeting.
Is childcare offered for all school meetings?
Currently, folks can attend board meetings in person or via Zoom. Childcare is not provided. If this makes participation a barrier for you, please contact us to let us know.
I can’t attend the regular monthly meetings. Can I still be involved?
Of course! There is no need to attend the regular meetings to be a part of the Parent & Family Group. There are many other ways to be involved: we welcome your donations, time, and talents at any time throughout the school year!
I want to volunteer in my child’s classroom (or the school library, school committee, board, etc). How do I do that?
The Parent & Family Group coordinates volunteers for our projects and events. All other volunteer opportunities are coordinated through the school. Contact your child's teacher or the school office for more information.
We welcome questions and feedback! If you have additional questions, please contact us.
