EDS Parent Committee (P.C.)
Emmanuel Day School Parent Committee serves to bring families together with the teaching team to
1.      Meet other families, share their experiences at EDS and provide feedback on the program.
2.      Organize and implement school events and field trips.

The Committee serves as a forum for parents to share ideas, plan and give feedback regarding the events and enrichment activities for our students and their families. The board cannot change or write school policy that is set by the Vestry of Emmanuel Church.

The Parent Committee duties include: 
1. Fostering positive relationships and a strong sense of community at EDS with constant communication.
2. Scheduling, planning and implementing school events and field trips
- Scheduling volunteers, creating donation sign-ups, cooking, set-up and clean-up

A Parent Committee Chair will be appointed by the School Committee each year and serve a term of one school year. The Committee Chair will lead each meeting and draft the agenda and minutes to share with parents. The Chair also serves as a parent representative on the Emmanuel Day School Committee that meets monthly.

2019/2020 PC Chair is Marlena Horan

All families are invited to participate in a monthly Parent Events Committee meetings.
Fall 2019 Meeting Schedule Meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month at 9 am.

Agendas and minutes will be emailed to all families.
We ask that each parent volunteer at an event at least once during the EDS school year. Thank you!
