Parents' Association

Welcome to the King School Parents’ Association (PA).

The PA is committed to building a strong, active parent community that is supported by our amazing parent-school partnership.  We have a huge array of leadership positions and over 20 parent-led committees. The PA is an integral part of the King community, offering volunteer opportunities that encompass all aspects of King life - admission, athletics, arts, fundraising, school spirit, and community service.

As parents and guardians, you are automatically members of the King PA, and I invite you to get involved with the PA and help us continue to grow our community and parent engagement.  We are so lucky to have so many committed and passionate parents and guardians volunteering on our Board, committees, and grade reps.  We truly have something for everyone, big or small, and I encourage you to be involved and join 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 look forward to an amazing school year together!
