Parent Involvement
Parent involvement is recognized as having a critical effect upon the quality of a child’s educational experience, and our parents are actively involved in classroom support and extracurricular activities. We are also a parent-governed school, with school parents serving on the Board and various commissions and committees.
The generous volunteer spirit of dedicated parents has been a consistent theme in CHA’s history. After-school enrichments, fundraising, interscholastic sports, field trips, class parties, drama/musical programs, and many school events are enhanced and made possible by parent volunteer support.
Volunteer for the 2023-24 School Year!
Who makes up the PVO? ALL PARENTS of CHA students can participate in one way or another! Whether your family/work schedule allows for time to volunteer during the school day or at occasional events, or your schedule is better suited to donating supplies, your contributions make a difference at our school.
PVO involvement is a great opportunity to meet other parents and get to know some of your children’s classmates. It’s also a wonderful way to encourage our faculty, staff, and administration.
Volunteer Handbook
The CHA Volunteer Handbook is a “must read” for parents interested in volunteering at CHA in any capacity. It contains practical information, essential guidelines, and expectations for our volunteers as well as the procedure for becoming an approved volunteer.
