Campus Community
Parent Volunteers
At Carden Academy we actively encourage parents to be involved in the lives of their students at school. There are many ways parents can participate, whether it is daily, weekly, monthly, or only for specific events. Even the smallest amount of time makes a significant difference! Students are thrilled when their families become involved in their daily experience. Please contact Friends of Carden at foc@cardensv.com or the school office to volunteer for any of the following programs:
Room Parents
Each classroom teacher requests specific assistance from a Room Parent volunteer, who then helps to spearhead communication and organize classroom events with other parents in the class. This includes planning parties and events in the classroom in conjunction with the teacher. Your teacher would really appreciate your help! Please contact your student's teacher directly or Friends of Carden at foc@cardensv.com to volunteer.
Seventh Grade Parents
Each year we request that the parents of the seventh grade class help to plan and host the Eighth Grade Graduation Reception, a joyous event which follows the official graduation ceremony for our departing class on the last day of school. Duties includes coordinating food and supplies, as well as reception hall decoration and clean-up.
