PARENTS COMMITTEE
Cedars School prides itself on educating ‘the whole child’, and that includes creating a sense of community and emphasizing the importance of family. One method we use to ensure the success of this objective is allowing for an active community of parents to partake in the important events and decisions of the school.
This essential group in our school community is made up of a diverse group of parents who support the school and work towards advancing the mission and vision of Cedars. These parents work with the administration, faculty, and staff to ensure that all students are in a positive, creative, nurturing and safe environment. All parents of enrolled students are welcome to apply to the committee or volunteer to support one of the committee’s activities, events, or fundraisers.
The parent's committee is considered as a liaison between the Cedars' administration and all other parents. Regular meetings are held between the school's representatives and the parent's committee members, where they discuss and address important topics and issues to ensure a healthy and positive learning environment for our students.
The parent's committee at Cedars is responsible of the following:
-
Assisting the administration in setting the school tuition and fees annually;
-
Ensuring an effective partnership between the home and school by working with the principal, staff and the board of management;
-
Addressing the concerns, and queries relayed to the school's administration;
-
Raising and discussing important topics that include and not limited to food safety, events, medical task force and many other topics;
-
Coaching kids’ athletic teams;
-
Co-heading student clubs;
-
Assigning room-parents annually;

-
Organizing, in coordination with the school administration, workshops and educational events for the families of students;
-
Organizing, in coordination with the school administration, fundraising activities for school events and student financial aid;
-
Completing the tasks agreed upon in the monthly committee meetings.
With the committee’s support, Cedars can meet not only the high educational standards set by our community, but also integrate the importance of community and family values.
