Participation by parents in many aspects of the school adds to the child's sense of his/her education being a part of a larger framework of life and the community.

Opportunities are presented for involvement in the school's programs throughout the year. These volunteer opportunities are available at varying times to accommodate parent schedules.

Room parents coordinate class events in cooperation with classroom teachers at each grade level. Volunteers may support the academic programs by working in the office, library, science labs, art room,  world language classrooms, and Kindergarten, Prefirst, and First Grade classrooms, as well as tech labs.

Parents also chaperone field trips and teen activities, assist with physical plant improvements, and support many fundraising efforts to supplement program materials at SJA.

The cooperative and dedicated involvement of parents, faculty, and staff helps maintain a close, supportive and nurturing relationship among all elements of the school.
