The School Parent Organization at Campus International School in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District is the organization that serves to grow and develop our community. Fundamental to our organization is a belief that everyone – parents, teachers, and students – play an important role in this mission. There are no forms to fill out or dues to pay – this is YOUR organization.
Remember, volunteering doesn’t necessarily mean committing a significant amount of time. Even small contributions, like assisting with a one-time event or chaperoning a field trip, can make a meaningful difference for your child’s school experience.
• SUPPORTING YOUR CHILD’S EDUCATION: It allows you to actively engage with your child’s learning environment, understand their educational needs, and support their academic journey.
• BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS: Volunteering provides an opportunity to build relationships with your child’s teachers, administrators, and other parents, fostering a sense of community and mutual support.
• SETTING A POSITIVE EXAMPLE: By volunteering, you demonstrate to your child the importance of contributing to their community and the value of education.
• GAINING INSIGHT: You get a firsthand view of the school’s operations, curriculum, and challenges, which can provide insight into how you can better support your child’s education at home.
• MAKING A DIFFERENCE: Volunteering contributes to the school’s success by providing additional resources, support, and manpower, ultimately benefiting all students.
• STRENGTHENING COMMUNICATION: Volunteering enables better communication between parents and teachers, allowing for more open dialogue about your child’s progress and any concerns.
• CREATING A SENSE OF BELONGING: Your involvement in school activities can help your child feel more connected and comfortable in their school environment.
• BOOSTING PARENTAL ENGAGEMENT: Research suggests that parental involvement positively impacts a child’s academic success and overall well-being.
