Dear Parents:

Welcome to the 2010-2011 school year. The Parent Organization supports the School’s mission, provides a forum to communicate with school leaders and involves parents more deeply in the School and the students’ education and life experiences. As parents of a Saint Ignatius student, you are automatically members of the Organization, and no additional fee or application is required.

At Parent Organization meetings, those in attendance plan and prepare events such as the annual Mini Class Night, the Open House, the Junior Class Mass, and parent service projects, are provided insight to other ongoing school-sponsored events such as the annual Auction and receive presentations from current Saint Ignatius faculty and staff. All parents are welcome and encouraged to come to every meeting, whether or not they can make the first one. The meetings are a great venue to meet other Saint Ignatius parents and to receive updates about the School and events, as well as to volunteer a few hours of your time.

If you have questions about the Parent Organization, or want to volunteer for a specific event and/or project, please e-mail any of our 2010 to 2011 officers who are listed here and we would be pleased to help.
