Barrie School Campus
Parents As Partners
Because of the dedication of our parent volunteers, we are not simply a school—we are a community of families.
Barrie School values and encourages parent engagement. Relationships between parents, faculty, students, and administrators are strengthened by parent involvement in the volunteer opportunities offered through our parent teacher organization. Barrie's Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) promotes relationships between and among families and the school in order to foster a vibrant community in support of the school’s mission and values.
By finding meaningful, rewarding ways to share their time and talents, our parents find their place at Barrie and develop a sense of community. Through volunteering, friendships are forged, good work is done, and all aspects of our school community are enhanced.
You are a member! Get involved!
Membership in the PTO is automatic for faculty, staff, and families. There is a $50 per family fee to help offset the cost of events.
Barrie suggests ten volunteer hours per year, per family. Families may volunteer all at once or a few times per trimester, and hours can be fulfilled in many ways, including off-campus.
