Portland Village Parent Association (PVPA)

The Portland Village Parent Association (PVPA) is a group of parent/guardian volunteers who coordinate with the administration, faculty and PVS Board of Directors in an effort to support and promote parent-led school initiatives. The PVPA’s primary initiatives are building community connections and relationships, supporting school-wide communication, providing educational opportunities for families on curriculum and other parenting topics, and coordinating volunteer efforts to support the school as a whole. All parents/guardians are welcome to attend monthly meetings and each class should have at least one designated parent/guardian “PVPA Representative” in attendance. PVPA Representatives support school-wide PVPA initiatives and build bridges between class families and the broader school community.

Questions or interest in getting involved? E-mail chair Jamie Trummer and Krista Wheeler at pvpa@portlandvillageschool.org.
