All parents and guardians of Athenian students are members of the Athenian Parent Association (APA), which works to support the school’s mission of intellectual exploration and meaningful contribution. The APA promotes a strong sense of community by facilitating communication between the parent body and the school. We host speakers, serve as a resource to parents, and encourage volunteerism. APA leaders and volunteers play a vital role in coordinating and running school events, which have historically included International Night, family potluck socials, faculty and staff appreciation luncheons, and celebrations of student milestones.
To stay informed about APA activities and to find out about opportunities to volunteer, read the Weekly every Friday, and come to our regularly scheduled all-parent meetings. All-parent meetings inform parents of volunteer, social, and community-building opportunities.
For example, Athenian's successful and active Book Club and Walking Group allow parents to build lasting connections and contribute to the greater Athenian community. Our goal is to have families find many ways to get involved, and we look forward to seeing your energy in our community!
Join us in person or virtually for this hybrid session where we'll have an opportunity to hear from administration and faculty to learn more about Athenian's grading policy. Questions are welcome! For the in-person session, coffee and refreshments will be served from 6:15 with the session beginning at 6:30 PM. Join the virtual meeting here or click "more details" for full Zoom information.
We have had some fantastic discussions this year, and we hope you can join us for the next one! To stay informed about book selections and meeting dates, email us at apa4books@gmail.com.
Drop off your students then stop by the field for coffee and treats with our APA and other parents! We'll meet at the corner of the field nearest the middle school entrance.
