Parent Association

Welcome to the Blue Oak School Parent Association (BOS PA)! We are excited to get to know you and share our collective ideas and talents to help our school community thrive!

We know you are invested in your child’s growth and educational success, and it’s no secret that strong family-school partnerships lead to better student outcomes. Participating in our Parent Association is one of the easiest and most rewarding ways to get involved at Blue Oak School.

The purpose of the Blue Oak School Parent Association is to build and sustain a sense of community among those individuals and families connected to the School, enrich the academic, social and emotional growth of all students at the School, and facilitate communication between parents of students at the School on the one hand, and the faculty, administration, and the Board of Trustees of the School on the other hand. 

We fulfill our purpose in a number of ways:

• Representation and Advocacy: The BOS PA represents the collective voice of our parents, advocating for our student’s needs and interests within our school community. We ensure that parents have a say in decisions that affect our children’s education and well-being.

• Community Building: The BOS PA fosters a sense of community among families, creating opportunities for parents to connect, share experiences, and support each other through coffee Fridays, monthly meetings and social events. This helps build a supportive network within the school environment.

• Communication Bridge: The BOS PA facilitates communication between parents, teachers, and school administration. We help disseminate important information about school policies, events, and educational initiatives, ensuring transparency and clarity.

• Educational Enhancement: The BOS PA contributes to educational enrichment by organizing and disseminating information on speaker events on topics of interest to parents including emotional development, safe technology use, academic enrichment, and high school preparation.

• Fundraising: The BOS PA raises money to supplement our budget, sustain scholarship programs, strengthen progressive education objectives, fund facility enhancements and provide resources for programs that keep our school innovative while maintaining reasonable tuition.

• Volunteerism: The BOS PA encourages and coordinates parent volunteers, who contribute their time and skills to support school activities and events. This involvement strengthens the school community and demonstrates to students the importance of community service.

The PA meets the second Friday of each month, after our Friday coffee, at 8:30am. Each PA meeting is open to all current BOS parents, and all parents are enthusiastically encouraged to attend.
