The BPA’s primary objective is to support and foster community within the School, the students and the parent body. The BPA, through its membership, seeks to:  

• Encourage, organize and direct volunteer activities that enhance school life for students, faculty, staff, parents, and the larger community

• Facilitate open communication and promote cooperation between parents/guardians and the School

• Encourage volunteerism within the parent community

• Raise funds to support the School's strategic objectives

• Support the School’s mission and the decisions and policies of the School’s Board of Trustees and Administration

All Bentley parents and guardians are automatically members of the Bentley Parent Association upon enrollment. All parents are encouraged to get involved in a way that is personally meaningful and suits their schedule. 

There are many ways to get involved! Please consider volunteering for events and other general opportunities. You can also reach out to your Room Parent or any of the BPA Executive Committee. (Click here for the full list.)

If you have specific questions about the BPA, please reach out to our President Heather White and Vice President Shuang Shackelford by emailing bpa@bentleyschool.org.
