Parents have many opportunities to contribute to their children’s education at The Steward School.

Student Learning
Parents are regularly updated on their child’s progress in the classroom. Teachers assign homework that requires a child to share with his or her parents what is being taught in class. Parental input is required in decisions such as course selection and college planning. The Parent Resource Center provides books and workshops on topics including parenting issues, homework and study habits, and learning styles and differences.

Volunteering
Parents can participate in the Parents’ Association, which benefits the school by raising money and sponsoring activities through the school year including Spartan Spirit Day in the fall and the Auction in the spring. “Welcome Back” and “Farewell” luncheons for the staff, monthly snacks in the teacher lounges, and a parent-run book fair are some of the other activities sponsored by the Association.

Parents can also serve as room sponsors who help to arrange class gatherings, field trips, newsletters, and reading to students.

School Decision Making
Parents can also help guide the school in its focus and administration by serving on the Board of Trustees.
