Parent Advisory Board Sign Ups

Sign Up for the Parent Advisory Board!

The TCNS Parent Advisory Board is an important and valued piece of our school.  The Board assumes responsibility for many administrative functions, and allows the staff and me to focus more of our attention on the children and the programs of Trinity.  It is with deep gratitude that I ask you to consider volunteering for the Parent Advisory Board.  The meetings are generally on the 3^rd Wednesday of the month at 9:15 and run less than one hour.  While we encourage attendance at the meetings, we understand that it is not always possible to attend.  Therefore, even if you cannot make it to the Wednesday meetings, we hope you will consider the Board.  Babysitting is available for $5 / child.  We discuss school happenings, support each other in our roles, and we also find time to laugh!  It a great way to meet other wonderful parents!

In exchange for service on the TCNS Advisory Board, members are given priority in the registration lottery for the year they serve.

The Parent Advisory Board Volunteer Form and the TCNS Parent Board Job Descriptions were emailed to you yesterday.  Please let Sue know if you did not receive it. The Volunteer Form may be returned to your child’s teacher or by mail.  All forms are due March 22.
