“Volunteering has been a rewarding way for me to connect with our school community. My involvement has boosted my confidence in both my parenting and school choice. Serving as the Boca Parents’ Association President was the most fulfilling volunteer experience I have ever had. I felt genuinely supported by both the faculty and fellow families and appreciated for my efforts. Best of all, it was a tremendous amount of fun.”
There are many ways for parents, alumni, parents of alumni and grandparents to share their time with our community.
The Parents’ Associations foster a strong partnership between families and the school to support students’ academic and personal growth. Whether you serve on the executive board, volunteer for a committee, attend meetings or participate in school events, your involvement makes a profound impact.
There are three Parents’ Associations: the Boca Raton Parents’ Association (PA) on the Boca Raton campus and the Lower School Family Association (LSFA) and the Middle and Upper School Parents’ Association (MUSPA) on the Fort Lauderdale campus.
Current families may log in to My Pine Crest and visit the Division tiles for more information about the Parents’ Associations.
