The Portland Village Parent Association (PVPA) is a group of parents and family members who coordinate with our administration, teachers, and PVS Board of Directors to support parent-led school initiatives. The PVPA helps to strengthen community connections and build relationships, supports school-wide communication, provides educational opportunities for families about Waldorf education and other parenting topics, and coordinates volunteer efforts to support the school. We welcome all parents and caregivers to join us for our monthly meetings! Each class has one or two designated “PVPA Representatives” who attend each meeting, then communicate back to their class what is happening that month in our school.

 

We celebrate the rhythms of the school year with many wonderful festivals and events, which are all parent and family volunteer -powered. We look forward to meeting you!
