Parents’ Association.
The SCS Parents’ Association works to benefit our girls by linking the School and its families.
Throughout the year the PA hosts many social events to bring parents together, as a Grade and as a full community. Additionally, it fundraises in support of the varied programs and activities that augment the SCS experience for our girls.
A Message From The PA President
Welcome to a very exciting year at St. Clement’s School. On behalf of the St. Clement’s Parents’ Association, I want to extend a warm welcome to all families.
As a parent at SCS, you are a member of the SCSPA and we welcome and encourage your involvement. The SCSPA is an important part of the St. Clement’s community. We organize a number of community building and fundraising events throughout the year in addition to providing volunteer support for several School events and programs, all of which directly benefit our daughters.
The Parents’ Association comprises the entire parent community and is led by an Executive, Event Convenors and Grade Parents who facilitate communication and community within their grade. Most importantly we rely on the many, many parent volunteers who so generously donate their time to support the numerous activities and initiatives of the SCSPA.
Whether you are able to donate one hour or twenty I hope you will be able to get involved this year. It is a fantastic opportunity to meet new parents; make new friends and catch up with old ones; and, get to know the faculty and staff. For a listing of our events and to volunteer please click the link in the Volunteering section below.
I would also like to invite everyone to join our monthly meetings to see what we have going on. They are held on the second Tuesday of each month at 8:30am at the School in Powell Hall. At the meetings we discuss upcoming events and activities and often host Faculty and Staff members to speak about topical subjects or School initiatives. The meetings are a great forum for Convenors and Grade Parents to communicate updates as well as get support and feedback. If you are able to attend, I would encourage you to do so.
I look forward to meeting and working with you, and I hope your family has a fantastic year. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, thoughts or suggestions.
See you at school,
John Sayers
