Parents' Club Leadership

When you become a parents’ club president, you quickly realize that communication is critical. A parents’ club president is the conduit between the Academy’s parent liaison team and the parents. This page aims to help parents’ club board members sustain continuity as they transfer in/out of various positions.

Parents’ Club President Conferences

Each year the Academy hosts a conference for parents’ club presidents right before Parents’ Weekend. A reception is normally held at the Superintendent’s home the Wednesday before Parents’ Weekend and the conference is Wednesday and Thursday. On the Friday of Parents’ Weekend, there is an information fair at Arnold Hall at which some parents’ clubs have a table to sell approved products. As soon as the parent liaison team gets the information required for selling approval, they will send out the required information to the parents’ clubs to submit for reservation.

A second conference is held in the spring for new leadership of parents’ clubs.
