Active parent participation is essential if the school is to sustain the high level of excellence that our students deserve. Parents are encouraged to express ideas, concerns and suggestions about the school to the School Head, the staff, and the SMC or any of its subcommittees through defined channels.

The SMC recognizes the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) as the official organization representing parents. The PTA has no policy making function, but is invited to express views on behalf of the parents to the SMC through the School Head. The PTA Chair is the ninth member of the SMC. While the SMC solicits and values the opinions of parents, final decision authority rests with the SMC.

The SMC encourages individual parents who have special interests, training, experience, or skills to contribute their talents to the school. From time to time, such persons may be asked to serve as resources or volunteer advisors to school programs.
