List of 4 items.

• Parent/Caregiver Association

  The Parent/Caregiver Association serves as a bridge between parents/caregivers, administration, and teachers and staff by organizing community building activities at the grade-level and across the school. All parents and caregivers are members of the Parent/Caregiver Association (PCA) and are welcome to attend the meetings. Each classroom or grade band is represented by two or more people, who are ambassadors of the friendly Fayerweather spirit, and share responsibility for recruiting volunteers and participants for class and school events and for keeping parents and caregivers informed about PCA, classroom, and school activities. The Association is led by one or two people who serve as chair(s) who meet regularly with the Head of School and others from the School Leadership Team. The PCA Chair(s) work alongside the PCA Leadership Support (PALS) Team which is composed of a few current PCA Reps to schedule and lead meetings and events and communicate with the PCA Reps and parents. The PCA also plays a part in welcoming new parents. The full Charter can be found here.
  
  PCA meetings are held in person monthly at the school. The time(s) and date(s) for Parent/Caregiver Association meetings can be found in The ‘Weather Report, in the PCA section of “Resources” on MyFSS, and on the school website calendar. The PCA and school also collaboratively offer Parent/Caregiver Education events to better communicate, support, and partner with parents/caregivers and the broader community.

• Admission Ambassadors

  Parent Ambassadors connect with prospective and new Fayerweather families. They greet families at events, make phone calls to families inquiring about Fayerweather, and encourage the community spirit between current families and those new to our school.
  
  Ambassadors can also get involved through the Word of Mouth Ambassador Program, becoming a contact on PeerPal, or becoming an Admissions tour guide.

• Advancement Ambassadors

  Annual Fund: As part of this, each classroom has one or two Annual Fund ambassadors to help with the fundraising participation goals. This includes emailing (or calling if you prefer) 5-8 fellow parents to encourage their support of the Solid & Strong CommUNITY Fund. Training is included to support your work.
  
  

  Big Night Out Committee: this is the school’s annual adults-only evening out which includes refreshments, merriment, usually music and dancing, and the silent auction and paddle raise. Funds raised from this event support the Tuition Aid Endowed Fund, Horizon Fund, professional development, and special projects at the school. Committee members help plan the theme, location, decor, set ticket prices, secure auction items, and get the word out encouraging attendance.

• Alum League and Class Agents

  Fayerweather encourages alums to visit often and to remain involved with the school. Participation as an alum is a wonderful way to stay connected with fellow former students and helps to strengthen the school for future generations. We hold several events throughout the year, including an annual Bowling reunion, Alum Night at the Unit Play, and various activities. For more information, email us at alum@fayerweather.org and follow our Facebook and Instagram accounts.
