Parent Group

The Frances Xavier Warde School’s Parent Group is a community of parents who work to support the academic, social and financial goals of the school. Parents of all FXW students are members of the Parent Group. Parental involvement is key to the unique mission of FXW. The Parent Group seeks to strengthen the school by building ties among FXW parents, friends, and alumni, and tapping into our collective talents, time, and resources to benefit FXW faculty, administration, and our children. The Parent Group accomplishes this goal by offering parents many ways to serve the school and support students through volunteer opportunities and gatherings including:

• Providing monthly forums for parents and administration to share information and promote collaboration.
• Presenting a series of guest speakers who address a variety of topics related to the emotional, spiritual, and academic development of our children.
• Hosting the New Families Reception each fall, where parent volunteers welcome our newest members into our school community.
• Championing an invaluable resource—our teachers, administration, and staff—through the Appreciation Breakfast held in the fall and spring, the Holiday Gift Fund, and end-of-year bonuses.
• Volunteering in the front office, lunchroom, at morning drop-off, and in the classroom to insure that financial resources are used to educate our children rather than for additional support staff.
• Leading and assisting with art projects through the Art Volunteers in the Classroom program.
• Encouraging social responsibility by administering student-centered service projects.
• Promoting literacy and reading through the organizing of book fairs.
• Promoting school spirit through the sale of school uniforms and spirit wear.
• Organizing family-centered activities that bring the school community together, such as the International Festival and the Bike & Hike.
