Island School at a Glance: Parent Association
The purpose of Island School Parent Association (PA) is to support the philosophy, programs, and activities of
Island School for the benefit of all its students. The PA will facilitate communication and parent education, as well
as encourage and coordinate volunteerism. The PA also serves as a forum for parent concerns, expresses parent
appreciation to the faculty and staff, and lends support in the classrooms with administrative tasks and during
school activities.
All parents (and in their absence, guardians) of students attending Island School are automatically considered
members of the Island School Parent Association. The voluntary annual dues and the eScrip program support
PA activities and provide enhancements to Island school students, faculty, and staff not provided for in the Island
School budget.
The officers and Room Parents make up the Steering Committee of the Parent Association. This group meets
once a month and publicizes their activities each week in the newsletter, the Parent Connection. A manual for
new parents, I.S. 101, is updated each year and available below.
