The Senesh Parent Association (PA) is an inclusive and active community of parents and caregivers committed to fostering a vibrant, welcoming environment at Senesh. By building connections across grades, planning mission-aligned events, and celebrating the staff, the PA strengthens our school community. Through various opportunities—like organizing social gatherings, coordinating holiday celebrations, or supporting inclusive initiatives—parents contribute their time and skills to make a meaningful impact and build lasting bonds.

The purpose of the PA is to:

• Build and maintain a warm and welcoming community for all Senesh families.
• Foster connection and community within and across grades.
• Provide support and express appreciation to our staff and faculty.
• Live our school’s mission through events that reflect our values and engage the broader community.

Every parent or guardian of a current Senesh student is automatically a member of the Parent Association. Members are encouraged to actively participate in PA events and activities throughout the school year and every contribution makes a meaningful difference.

Getting involved in the Parent Association is a rewarding experience that benefits both you and the broader Senesh community. Here are a few reasons to consider participating:

• Build Lasting Relationships: Connect with other parents, caregivers, and faculty members, forming meaningful relationships that extend beyond school events.
• Make a Difference: Your contributions—big or small—help shape the school environment, enriching the experiences of all students and families.
• Be in the Know: Stay informed and have a voice in the events and initiatives that affect your child's school experience. Bonus – you get a sneak peek into school happenings and get to see your kids in action (and your kids get to see YOU!).
• Share Your Expertise: Use your unique skills, talents, and experience to make a meaningful impact on the school community. Whether it’s organizing events, supporting communication efforts, or contributing in other ways, your involvement is invaluable.
• Model Engagement for Your Children: By participating in PA events and initiatives, you demonstrate the importance of community involvement and service to your children.

The Parent Association is led by dedicated parent volunteers who have demonstrated active engagement in previous years. Leadership roles, such as committee chairs, are filled based on nominations or self-nominations and authorized by the school's leadership. These positions are held for one school year, beginning at the end of the previous year and continuing through the following year.

The PA is organized into several committees, each focusing on specific areas to enrich the Senesh community. Below is a list of our key committees with brief descriptions of their goals and activities:
