Primary Day Parents Association 2025-2026

We are honored to represent our parent community at Primary Day. This is a special place for our children to spend the most important years of their educational careers.

The purpose of the Parents Association is to advance and enrich the sense of community within the school; to promote cooperation, communication, and unity of spirit among parents, faculty, staff, trustees, and students; to encourage understanding among parents concerning the school’s objectives; and to provide a means for parents to be of service to the school.

The Parents Association does not participate in policymaking or curriculum development. The PDPA is comprised of all parent volunteers and welcomes involvement from all PDS parents in events and meetings.

Please see the Association by-laws at the following link: Primary Day Parent Association (PDPA) Bylaws.

Information about upcoming PDPA community meetings and sponsored special events will be shared with the parent community. Below, please find the list of Officers. Feel free to reach out to anyone on this list with any questions you may have or suggestions for a program or activity.
