Parent Socials - Click for class dates

Ready to meet the parents in your class?   Parent Socials, held in September and October, are casual evening gatherings designed for parents to meet other parents in their child’s class as well as the teachers and administrators. The events are held at parent homes and co-hosted by several other parents. It is a very fun evening where friendships are born.

The Parent Advisory Council 

Our school’s founder, Lynne Simmons, created the Parent Advisory Council (PAC) together with parents who wanted to be involved in organizing family-oriented events centered around our children’s education. We invite you to become a part of this wonderful group of parents, to make new friends, and to get involved. Here’s what we do:

  • PAC hosts fantastic events that are sure to become special memories in your family’s experience at Village Green Day School. These include family events and evening socials for our parents. 
  • PAC helps to foster a sense of a school family at Village Green through activities such as Parent Socials, New Parent Orientation, and Staff Appreciation Week.
  • PAC gives back through community assistance and charitable giving.
