HE VSSA (Viewpoint School Service Association) is made up of countless parent volunteers joining together and dedicating their time to enhance the overall experience at Viewpoint School for students, parents, and employees alike. The activities organized and executed by the VSSA are meant not only to be fun, but also to bring the community together to ensure that everyone feels connected. Each year, volunteers in each Division carry out a variety of unique VSSA activities. For example, in Primary and Lower School, parent volunteers serve Hot Lunch, organize special events such as Family Field Day, Movie Night, and Party Extreme, and assist with Great Pumpkin Day t-shirts and window painting. In Middle and Upper School, the parent volunteer opportunities are designed to meet the needs of the more mature students. These include dance and drama committees, senior and spirit events, International Potluck meals, and Middle School sports team parents.

IN ADDITION TO the division-specific activities, all parents school-wide can partake in the numerous Parent Coffees, the Host Family program, Homecoming, Fall Luncheon and Boutique, Winter Book Fair, Spring Luncheon/Community Service Awareness event, assembling Holiday Greens, Parent Education Speaker Series, monthly Employee Breakfasts, and the Faculty Appreciation Lunches. IF YOU ATTEND ANY OF THESE EVENTS, you will see that VSSA volunteers are enthusiastic, friendly, and happy to include all parents old and new. With these myriad activities, we hope to make a positive impact on the Viewpoint School community experience in its entirety. We welcome all parents to volunteer as much of their time as they can. There is a fun and exciting volunteer opportunity waiting for everyone!
