Parents have always enjoyed a strong presence at Community and their support continues to play a vital role in bringing the philosophy of the School to life. All parents of children enrolled at Community School are members of the CPA; however, monthly meetings are attended primarily by the officers and chairpersons of various CPA committees.
The CPA has matured since its founding to include a broad range of responsibilities. Events and activities organized by the CPA include:
