Parent Association
The goals of the Parent Association are to help build community, increase communication and aid the school in fulfilling its mission. Meetings are held throughout the school year.
The Kazoo Parent Association works together with students and faculty to make Kazoo School the best it can be. Some of our activities are to help maintain and beautify the school grounds, coordinate community and faculty meals, and host social events on and off campus so that families can get to know each other better. The PA also organizes fundraisers to support Kazoo School’s mission to Teach the Whole Child.
Parents/Special People are always welcome in the building. This is a school community where parents and teachers work in partnership on behalf of children.
Parents/Special People are invited to help at school by being a recess volunteer, sharing artistic, legal, financial, public relations, marketing, governance, architectural or fundraising expertise, recycling pick-ups, carpentry, refreshments for events, computer work…and many, many other activities. The Parent Association maintains a database of volunteer skills and resources to share with faculty and administration.
Classroom Volunteers
Your child’s teacher may have classroom activities with which you can help such as being a reading listener, typing stories, making presentations in your area of interest or expertise, or driving for field trips. Teachers may solicit parents/special people to volunteer during the basegroup meeting at the beginning of the year.
Kazoo School depends on the time and effort that its parents/special people contribute in all of these areas to provide the learning experiences that are so important for its children.
Our faculty, staff, and administrators see parents/special people as educational partners. Our hope is that parents/special people will actively participate in the activities of the Parent Association.
