HSA Welcome from the Co-Clerks

Welcome!

Parents and guardians become a part of the HSA upon enrollment and may serve in a variety of ways; as a Co-Clerk, Division Co-Chair or Parent Representative of the Executive Committee, or as a volunteer for a Service, grade specific or all-school event. There should be an opportunity to fit every schedule!

Events sponsored or supported by the Home & School Association include; Parent Gatherings, the Middle and Upper School Book Fairs, the Lower School Pumpkin Fair, Principal Coffees, Curriculum Nights, MLK Day of Service, Movie Nights, Spirit Night and Faculty Appreciation celebrations...just to name a few.

As Co-clerks of the Home & School Association, we believe that Friends’ Central parents and guardians are essential for the development and success of our students. With the support of family and Friends’ our children and our community are made stronger. We know your time is valuable and we value any time you have to give!

Thank you,

Parents of Students of Color (PSOC)

PSOC Welcome Letter

The Parents of Students of Color, more commonly known as P.S.O.C., welcomes you!P.S.O.C. is a group of parents/guardians that work collaboratively with the Home & School Association to support families of color by fostering open communication between parents and the School. Our focus is to ensure that families of color feel empowered and included as equal members of the Friends’ Central community.

Some of P.S.O.C.’s work entails organizing social events, and helping with workshops particularly those focusing on issues surrounding race, diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our Co-clerks meet with various FCS community stakeholders regularly in an effort to ensure that the unique needs and voices of families of color are understood and valued. P.S.O.C. also hosts meetings for parents throughout the school year that provide us an opportunity to share our collective experiences as families of color at Friends’ Central School.

Please be on the lookout for forthcoming invitations to future P.S.O.C. hosted events throughout the year.

Thank you.
