The Parents Association

 

The Parents Association of Dutchess Day School is an organization of current parents and legal guardians that assists the Head of School on nonacademic matters and seeks to establish and maintain close cooperation among parents, students, faculty, administration, staff, and trustees in promoting the welfare of the school and its students.

 

The activities of the Parents Association include (but are not limited to) fund-raising activities in support of the school and sponsored by the Board of Trustees and the Development Office. The organization meets between six and eight times each academic year.

Each class at DDS has a set of Class Parents, who are responsible for serving as a liaison in nonacademic matters between parents and teachers, greeting new families, coordinating class business and activities, and encouraging their class’ parents to attend and participate in Parents Association meetings and activities.
