AWS Family Association
Did you know that you are already in the Family Association (FA)? All parents & guardians are automatically members, and the F.A. is an equal governance body of the school, alongside the College of Teachers and the Board of Trustees. It meets throughout the school year, and active family involvement is encouraged and welcomed.
​
In many ways, the F.A. is the hands of the school, while the Board of Trustees is the head, and the College of Teachers is the heart.
The Family Association is responsible for parent-to-parent connection, teacher appreciation, event steering, & workdays/grounds support, and works closely with Administration on these projects.
All parents and guardians are asked in good faith to volunteer through the Family Association in some way throughout the year. This may be through workdays, being a room parent, event planning committees, volunteering at an info table/activity booth and school and community events, and miscellaneous needs as they pop up.
