What We Do

The Home & School Association (HSA) is a volunteer organization that relies upon the help of parents/guardians. It is an active group that meets regularly to discuss items of concern to the greater school community. The HSA also works collaboratively with the school staff to provide enriching experiences for all.

Below is a list of events we hope to accomplish this year and also standing roles to help you better understand what we do:
