Parent Involvement
As the old proverb goes, “It takes a village to raise a child,” so imagine how many it takes to raise a whole school of children. All parents are encouraged to participate actively in the daily operation of the school and hence their children’s education.
To volunteer or for more information on how to help the school please contact volunteers@northstarschool.org.
