Parents' Association
Welcome to the King School Parents’ Association.
Welcome to the King School Parents’ Association. As parents and guardians, you are automatically members of the King PA, and we encourage you to take advantage of the many opportunities to become involved.
We are so fortunate to have so many talented and eager parents and guardians leading our Board, our committees and our grades as grade reps. There is truly a role for everyone either big or small, where each contribution is valued and appreciated.
As a parent, I am reminded that it is the people in our community who make King School such a special place. We have added some exciting new events and I encourage you to become involved and join me in the fun.
If you would like more information about the many ways parents and guardians can become involved, I can be reached at pa@kingschoolct.org.
I am looking forward to seeing you soon!

Inclement weather did not deter a group of King School's Trustees and Administrators from commemorating the naming of the redesigned outdoor sports complex on campus. The complex is in the heart of the campus on four acres of multi-sport turf fields. At a ribbon-cutting ceremony held on Tuesday, June 8, the fields were formally recognized as the Armstrong and King Family Fields and the Feinberg Field.
The King community was joined by Lisa Damour, Ph.D., for a practical talk on managing stress and anxiety due to the pandemic. Dr. Damour is a New York Times best-selling author who specializes in clinical psychology and child development. She is recognized as a thought leader by the American Psychological Association. Dr. Damour shared her clinical insights with parents in a virtual meeting on April 21, 2021, providing them with information and tips on how to best manage stress and anxiety in themselves and their children during these unprecedented times.
The Parents’ Association Visual Arts Committee and Art and Design Department are pleased to announce the first outdoor sculpture installation on campus. Five brightly colored and wind-activated kinetic sculptures by Drew Klotz are on display in different locations around campus until mid-June. Klotz combines elements of physics, engineering, geometry, and design when creating his sculptures.
