Parent’s Role & Responsibilities

Parents gathered with children

GPPS cannot function without the cooperation of all families. Upon enrollment, parents agree to accept responsibility for the following obligations: 

  • Assist teacher in the classroom as parent helper. Parent helper days are shared equally among parents in each class, usually twice a month.
  • Attend 3-4 general family meetings held throughout the school year. These meetings are usually held at 6:30 PM on a weeknight.
  • Participate in school fundraising activities.  Previous years’ activities have included a fun run, a holiday wreath sale, and a bowl-a-thon. The annual fundraising goal per family is $375.
  • Attend Family Orientation (held before school begins in the fall).
  • Complete a school support job or serve on the GPPS Board.
  • Participate in school work parties.
  • Meet health and financial requirements on time (including prompt return of health/immunization records and prompt payment of tuition and fees).
