About
Parents' Association
We invite families to be a part of their child’s education.
The Parents' Association (PA) is a vital and active component of Cape Cod Academy. The PA encompasses every 'parent' of a CCA student, including guardians, host families, and faculty members with children enrolled. The mission of the PA is multifold:
- support a robust school community;
- act as a communications and information liaison between families, the faculty, and the administration; and
- foster school spirit through activities and events.
All CCA parents are encouraged to participate by attending meetings, participating in school happenings, and/or volunteering for events and activities. Volunteering is not only an integral aspect of our culture, but also a rewarding way for you to become involved in your child’s Seahawk Experience. It’s also a great way to meet fellow parents/guardians!
The Parents' Association is led by the PA Chair and lower, middle, and upper school vice-chairs who meet regularly with school administration to plan events. In addition, the PA Chair and Vice-chairs work closely with the class representatives, the parent/guardian leaders for each grade level who help communicate with fellow parents about class events, as well as help teachers with various activities. Additionally, class reps:
- are ambassadors for CCA;
- provide a warm welcome to new families and encourage them to participate and volunteer in school activities;
- act as the liaison between parents and the classroom teacher in lower school and parents and the Associate Head in middle and upper schools; and
- serve as an informational resource for other parents.
For more information about these roles, PA events, or how you can become more involved, please contact Hellie Swartwood or Katie Newhall in the Advancement Office at advancement@capecodacademy.org.
Parent volunteering is not only an integral aspect of CCA culture but also a rewarding way for you to become involved in your child’s life at school. It’s a great way to meet fellow parents, too. For questions or more information on how you can get involved, contact the PA at PA@capecodacademy.org.
