ABOUT THE HOME AND SCHOOL ASSOCIATION

The Home and School Association (HSA) works to fulfill the mission statement of our school. The HSA brings Saint Mary’s families together to build a strong educational program through the many annual events and fundraising efforts. As parental involvement is a hallmark of a successful school community, it is important that all parents become involved in these events and activities that are planned throughout the year.

Although most of the functions of the HSA are designed for fundraising, an important and necessary part of the school, it also coordinates many other important activities including sports, hot lunch, playground renovation and maintenance, library volunteers, school publicity, and school enrichment program.

The HSA Executive Board is comprised of its Executive Officers (elected by parents) and Officers (appointed by the President and approved by the board). The Board meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 7:00 PM in the Rectory basement.

ALL PARENTS ARE WELCOME TO ATTEND THESE MEETINGS

In addition to the HSA Executive Board monthly meetings, there will be additional meetings throughout the year for all parents. The first will be early in the school year. Two additional meetings will be scheduled during the year. These meetings will provide current updates as to our financial progress. They will present parents with current information as to events, fundraisers and any other items we are working towards. The fourth meeting will include; a recap of the year, registration packet pick up and an outline of our preliminary goals for the upcoming year.

It is mandatory for at least one parent from each family to attend the first and last meeting of the year. The additional meetings midyear have been planned in order to keep our community informed. This is the perfect forum to attain information about our progress throughout the year and to share in the Saint Mary’s spirit and our commitment to our children.

In an effort to increase communication and increase our effectiveness, we will only send out two flyers per event. Last year we introduced a monthly HSA calendar, which will list the upcoming events and deadlines for items requiring attention. We will also use the School’s Website for additional information. In addition, a message board is located in the lobby of the school detailing important monthly information.
