Parents' Association Hero

The Parents’ Association welcomes you to the 2023-24 school year!
Our Community is Made Strong with Your Volunteering

 

As parents and guardians, we are all members of the Parents’ Association (PA); our role in creating this vibrant and diverse community is to not only help guide our children’s path to success, but to also set the best example of service and community building by supporting our students, faculty, and professional staff. Our community is what we make it, and what better way to teach our children than to lead by example as active participants in our school community, which unites together through our committees, parent/guardian affinity groups, and events.

We utilize HRSConnect to announce opportunities to actively participate in a variety of different ways and encourage you to find those that align with your busy schedule, expertise, and interest. Volunteer opportunities include sharing your knowledge at an admissions event, bringing in snacks for a faculty meeting, driving new donations on behalf of the Annual Fund, working on a committee for our annual Spring Celebration fundraiser, helping to plan the Professional Community appreciation lunch, and much more. We are grateful for your time, contributions, and energy, and look forward to having fun, forging new friendships, and sharing the coming year’s adventures with you.

Sincerely,

 

Rita Carlson
President, HRS Parents’ Association

CommunityEd

 

CommunityEd

The CommunityEd Speaker Series—brought to you in partnership with the Head-Royce Parents' Association—gives Head-Royce students, families, faculty, and staff the chance to learn together. From book clubs to guest lectures, these events enrich our (currently virtual) lives. Each speaker offers a unique perspective on our school year's theme of resilience, well-being, and community connections.
