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.  

Through the Parents’ Association, we celebrate what makes us unique and what we have in common.  We look forward to seeing you on campus and are reminded that it is the people in our community who make King School such a special place. 

I encourage you to become involved.  We are so fortunate to have so many talented and eager parents leading our Board, our committees and our grades as grade reps. Whether we are together in person, virtual or a mix of both, there is truly a role for everyone either big or small, where each contribution is valued and appreciated. You’re not only welcome here, you belong here!  

If you would like more information about the many ways parents can become involved, I can be reached at PA@kingshoolct.org

I can’t wait to see everyone on campus!

-Sandy Burgoyne P’27, PA President
