Parent and Caregiver Community
Penn Charter's Parent and Caregiver Community works to support our school and help make the overall experience engaging, enriching and meaningful for the entire family. As a Penn Charter parent or caregiver, you are already considered a member of the Parent and Caregiver Community. We hope that you will take an active role as we provide opportunities to connect with the school and fellow parents and caregivers, building community throughout our years together.
Our Parent and Caregiver Community thrives on your participation! Volunteer to help at a teacher appreciation breakfast for our faculty and staff, or manage a service project or an event like our Fall Festival. Whatever you decide, what's most important is that you engage in this community in a way this is most comfortable for you.
A special note for the 2024-2025 school year:
The Penn Charter Parent and Caregiver Community (PCC), in place since 1955, works to involve parents in school life, support and advocate for the school's mission, promote a positive school spirit, and provide educational and social opportunities for parents and caregivers.
Over the last several years, we've learned a lot from our community about how the PCC is meeting your needs, areas where needs may be changing, and areas where we can improve.
We are, therefore, excited to share that the PCC at Penn Charter will undergo a reorganization starting this fall, with a focus on becoming more effective and inclusive. You will hear more about this process and opportunities for parents and caregivers to participate in the months ahead.
In the meantime, we look forward to meeting our new families and reconnecting with returning families in the upcoming months, and hope that you and your children enjoy this school year!
