Parents' Association

The strong partnership between Burke's parents and school is one of our community's distinguishing features and plays an important role in each student's positive school experience. At Burke's, parents have the opportunity to work with the school both directly and as members of our active Parents' Association.

All Burke's parents and guardians are members of the Parents' Association and are encouraged to participate in its activities. The range of volunteer possibilities is broad - from making telephone calls to monitoring Lower School recess; from working on parent education seminars to welcoming new families; and from serving as a room parent to helping with our signature Family Festival or Dinner Auction, to name just a few.

Our goal is to help each parent find a way to participate in the life of the school that is meaningful and works best for the individual family.
