Fostering camaraderie.
Parents
At MICDS, parents play a crucial role in the life of our School. With such a welcoming, diverse MICDS parent community, transparent communications, and the vast array of opportunities for getting involved, all parents and guardians are encouraged to be active partners in their child’s education through our School’s vibrant Parent-School Partnership.
A welcome from the PA President.
Greetings, fellow MICDS parents and guardians!
As president of the Parents Association (PA), I would like to welcome you to the MICDS PA web page. All parents and guardians with currently enrolled students are members of the Parents Association and your participation is integral for our continued success.
The PA offers many ways for parents to get involved. You can participate by simply attending events or you can step up to help make things happen. There are a wide variety of ways to get involved including attending events hosted by the Passport Series or Parent Education, volunteering to help with the Homecoming Carnival or Faculty Appreciation, leading your class as a Class Chair, or welcoming new families as a Parent Ambassador. However you choose to participate in the PA, please know that your talents, energy, and time are always welcomed, valued, and appreciated!
We hope you will join us for our four PA meetings during the school year:
- Fall Parent Coffee & Activities Fair – Friday, August 30
- Holiday Luncheon – Friday, December 6
- Winter Coffee – Friday, February 21
- Spring Luncheon – Friday, April 25
I look forward to meeting and getting to know you this coming school year!
Sincerely,
Jen Hogan P’26 & ‘28
PA President 2024-25
