Parent Association

The Saklan School Parent Association

All parents and guardians are members of the Parent Association (PA). Our primary mission is to create a greater sense of community through regular social and educational events, parent outreach, and organizing volunteer opportunities for parents and guardians.

Please join us in building community and supporting our children and their fabulous teachers. Any amount of time you can volunteer is:

greatly appreciated by the students and teachers;
a terrific way to meet and get to know other parents;
a personally rewarding experience; and
a model of community service for our children.

We look forward to your involvement and participation at one of our many events!
