Home and School Association

Similar to a PTA, the Home and School Association is an extremely active and essential part of the school community. More than twenty committees participate in every phase of life at St. Joseph Catholic School. Family involvement is an essential part of the school community, creating a sense of ownership in an atmosphere of faith, friendship, and fun.

Home and School sponsors great social events for parents such as Casino Night, and fundraisers such as the Family Fun Run, and the Magazine Drive. Committees range from Art Moms, Cultural Performances, Library Aides, Do-Dads, Hospitality, Middle School Social Events, Room Moms/Dads…the list goes on and on. In addition, there is a Men’s Social Club for the dads, uncles and granddads of the school. This group meets once a month at a local restaurant to socialize and network, and they also host the golf tournament fundraiser. If you want to meet people and get involved, Home and School has a place for you.

ADVISORY COUNCIL
Appointed members, including parents, our principal, and Pastor, meet quarterly to plan, evaluate and implement the future direction of St. Joseph Catholic School. All parents are encouraged to participate by offering ideas and questions.

PARENT ACTION COMMITTEE
This committee is designed to provide an organized forum for parents to meet with the principal and staff on a regular basis to collectively address questions about the school, to get accurate information, and to promote good ideas for school activities beyond the scope of the Home and School Association. This group sponsors “Coffee with the Principal,” featuring faculty speakers on the curriculum, the guidance program, the Accelerated Reader Program, and other topics of interest to parents. The staff spends quality time with parents, listening and responding to questions and ideas.
