Welcome From the Parent Guild!
Dear Families,
On behalf of the Parent Guild Executive Boards, we would like to welcome you and your family to Notre Dame Academy.
What is the Parent Guild? It’s a volunteer organization designed with a mission that is based on the morals and values between family and the school. This partnership leads to the spiritual and educational development of our children, through activities, communication, and effective collaboration. All parents become members at the beginning of the school year, and the Executive Board, which currently is composed of 5 members, is appointed by the principal.
We are a very active organization that supports the school in a variety of ways, which enhances the quality of the educational experience at NDA for all students.
Our key goals include:
- Hosting extracurricular activities that encourage family involvement
- Sponsoring activities that increase school spirit
- Raising funds to supplement services, equipment, and supplies
- Supporting the school administration in its goals
The Guilds' number one priority is coordinating volunteers and school events. We usually have four meetings per year which take place in the Elementary and High School cafeterias. At these meetings, we discuss past and upcoming events and the treasurer’s report.
As a team, we are always looking for a committee to help organize and plan our events such as:
-Family Day (ES)
-Trunk or Treat (ES)
-Evening of Interculturality (ES/HS)
-Christmas Breakfast (ES)
-Ice Skating Event (ES)
-Marguerite’s Breakfast - Ladies Lunch (HS)
-Designer Bag Bingo (HS)
-Emeralds Parent/Daughter Dance (ES)
-College Fair & Accepted Students Night (HS)
And more!
We are open to suggestions and welcome newcomers to get involved. We know that sometimes parents can have many questions about what to expect, so please don’t hesitate to contact the Guild teams with questions. We are truly here to help in any way we can.
Once again, thank you. We look forward to meeting you and working with you.
Sincerely,
The Parent Guild Executive Boards 2024-2025
