The Paideia School

Events and Organizations

Events

Paideia is home to many community events and organizations that allow our families to feel connected. This connection is a wonderful way for our parents and caregivers to grow their network. We understand it is important for you to be a part of your student’s life both on and off campus. The best way to do that is to jump in!

Campus Organizations

In addition to helping in the classroom, there are many ways to support Paideia with your time or talent. Volunteering around campus provides a unique glimpse into your student’s school life and allows you to connect with the community.

Classroom Help

On any typical day you are likely to find parents around campus helping out in various ways. Every class is different and teachers choose to ask for parents’ assistance in different ways.

For younger students, parents might help out by playing math games, listening to early readers or simply having lunch with the kids while the teachers are meeting to compare notes with other teachers. Older kids tend to have less need for “in class” time but teachers still appreciate drivers for field trips, shoppers to fill occasional special needs help with the annual auction fundraising project.

Paidiea has traditions that you will find at almost every age. A faculty/staff favorite are “Teacher appreciation” breakfasts or lunches hosted by parents. So find your favorite recipe for an egg casserole or, even better, learn to cook large quantities of bacon in the oven..
