Home and School Association

Play a Role in Your Child’s Education

Sanford School warmly welcomes parent involvement in the life of our school. That is part of what makes us a community. There is always a way to get involved, no matter how much time you have. One great way to serve is through our parent-led Home and School Association (H&S).
 
The Home and School Association, Sanford School’s parent organization, includes as members all parents of enrolled students and encourages all parents to become active in the organization.

Building and nurturing the parent community

The Home and School Association supports Sanford School by strengthening parent-to-parent relationships and parent-to-school relationships through a variety of efforts and events. In all things, Home and School Association aims to

  • Communicate with parents and involve them in the life of the school
  • Provide educational and social events for parents
  • Assist in raising funds for the school through special events.

Ways to Get Involved

List of 3 items.

  • Be a Parent Representative

    The Home and School Association recruits parent representatives from each grade to communicate with parents regarding activities at the school, help coordinate community-building activities, and support the social activities. They serve as a resource for parents, a mentor for new parents, and an advocate for the school.

  • Volunteer

    Volunteers regularly support teachers and staff and help with schoolwide events, classroom activities, and divisional undertakings (e.g., Lower School GrandSpecial Day; Prom).
     
    The benefits of volunteering are many for our parents, our students, our faculty and staff, and our school. Volunteering:
    • Provides an opportunity for parents to become more knowledgeable about the school
    • Supports the faculty and staff
    • Develops relationships with other parents within and across all three divisions
    • Strengthens the school community 
    Want to get involved? There are positions that require a variety of skills and time commitments, providing all parents the reward of giving back to the school. Please email Lauren Evans, Alumni & Parent Engagement Coordinator, homeandschool@sanfordschool.org for additional information.

  • Help us Fundraise for Sanford

    Sanford holds several events annually to raise funds for the school. Volunteers who assist with these events take on numerous roles, including planning, promotion, reaching out to local businesses for support, administration, and decorating. All parents are encouraged to attend these fun and festive events, the proceeds of which benefit the school as a whole.
