Parents Association

The JBS Parents Association promotes a sense of community among our parents, supports our students and faculty, and serves the greater community.
 
Every parent/guardian of a current JBS student is automatically a member of the Parents Association and is welcome to attend any of the committee meetings and events listed on the Parents Association calendar. 
 
Parents who wish to get involved on campus have many options and opportunities to do so, and parents can volunteer as much or as little as their schedules allow. 
 
The Parents Association functions through an executive committee as well as ten standing committees, which provide a variety of services to JBS. Each committee has its own page on the right side panel - please click for more information! 
 
The Parents Association sponsors student activities and parent programming, it raises funds for the benefit of students, faculty and the administration via three major fundraising events, and it supports entities like the bookstore, the library and the Lost & Found with the help of parent volunteers.
