Parent and Friends Meetings

Parent and Friend meetings take place on the third Tuesday of each month.

At Holy Family we welcome parental involvement in the education of their children.  Holy Family has an extremely proactive Parents and Friends Association which provides the school community with many activities that promote a welcoming social atmosphere for all families and provides opportunities to raise funds for specific projects, such as the P&F built Art Room, air conditioners for every classroom, upgrading computer resources and purchasing and installing Phonic Ear sound systems in numerous classrooms.

Class Parents

Each class has a one or two parents to help with communication to parents about fund raising or class activities during the year. This group also helps new parents to the school to feel welcome and introduce them to other class parents.
