Welcome to the Rolling Hills Country Day School Parents Association.

RHCDS Parents Association consists of all parents of Rolling Hills Country Day School students. The goal of our organization is to provide support and enhance the events and activities at RHCDS, to encourage parental involvement in our activities, and to assist in maintaining a strong link between the school and its community. There are many ways of taking pride in your choice of education for your children and the following will outline our means of involvement.

• Grade Parents
- Facilitating our faculty and chairperson with the means of planning, organizing, and supporting events and activities throughout the year

• Grade Parent Support
- Supporting our Grade Parents with the many school events and activities throughout the grade levels

• Committee Chairperson
- Facilitating the school and its community in varied events and activities

• Committee Chair Support
- Assisting the Committee Chair in implementing their ideas for their event or activity

• Focus Group
- Aiding in the communication between faculty and families to build a strong community

Events and Activities

Members of the Parents Association dedicate many hours to each of our events and activities. Our Chairs and their support team work very hard to provide our children with an enriched and memorable school year. Our major events consist of the Parents Social, Multi-Cultural Day, Heyday, the Annual Tea, and Olympic Day. We are also involved with many activities throughout the year: Art At Your Fingertips, Community Service, Friday Lunches, Holiday Giving, Library Volunteers, New Family Buddy Program, Red Ribbon Days, Staff Appreciation Luncheon, Science Day, and Uniform Closet.

Although many schools rely on fundraising, RHCDS does not. All of our events are for the sheer pleasure of having a good time. Although we offer opportunities to participate in a Live Auction, Silent Auction, and Heyday Sponsorship Program Book, it is not required or expected of any of our families to contribute. It is clearly at the discretion of the family.

Focus Group

RHCDS relies on the school community to keep everything in balance. Therefore, a Focus Group was created. The Focus Group meets once a month and is comprised of grade representatives and the Administration. Collectively they work together to ensure that the needs of the faculty and families are met. Parents are invited to express opinions and concerns during the Open Forum portion of the monthly meetings.

Parents Association Meetings

PA meetings meet the first Wednesday of every month at 7:45 am in the Multi Purpose Room. Our attendance is usually between 75-150 people. These meetings are very informative regarding events and activities throughout the year. Special guest speakers are also on the calendar for our meetings.

Parent involvement at Rolling Hills Country Day School is encouraged and appreciated!
