Parents (TPSA)

Members of this committee support the Enrollment Management and Advancement departments in their work to build community by being advocates for TPS.

Ambassadors do this by helping prospective and new families learn about the school and by communicating with current families about various ways to get involved in and support the school.  

Each month parents organize and set up tables outside school to help celebrate student’s birthdays that occurred that month. Students can choose from a variety of small gifts in the month of their birthday.

Class representatives facilitate communication; encourage connection among their class, grade, and with the school; mobilize assistance to their cohort families (due to, for example, a birth, death or illness) with meals, rides, or playdates; reach out to new families to see how they can help ease their transition; and connect with the teacher to help make their job easier.
 

Coordinates service opportunities for parents and children throughout the year. In years past outreach has included clothing drives, holiday gifts for communities in need, and food donations. This committee will also support community service events MLK Day and Earth Day this year.

This committee helps plan and execute school-wide events including the Fall Family Festival, the Winter Family Dance Party, the student Thanksgiving Feast and the Spring EATS Fundraiser. 

Helps to promote a culture of inclusion among families by providing a variety of programming throughout the year. 

Working closely with TPS’ academic programming team, this committee helps to research, recommend, and plan relevant presentations on topics of interest to the TPS community. 

Organizes and creates photobooks for each grade level that can be purchased as take home momento for families. 

Supports the school with logistics and volunteer recruitment for school picture week, which typically takes place in October.

A committee for TPS parents who have a creative practice in the arts-- visual art, writing, music, performance, or any other media/form of expression. The group will meet a few times a year and would be an opportunity to share work-- whether in-progress or finished-- in community with other parents.

Supports TPS by helping to sell school swag (apparel designed by parents!) at different times throughout the year.
