The PIP is different from traditional Parent Associations in that our main
goal is to provide a home/school connection for our families, using social and educational opportunities. All families are
automatic members of the PIP – there are no membership fees.
The PIP supports its mission by communicating opportunities to families
throughout the year. These opportunities are in four major areas: Studio Support, Event Planning, Staff Appreciations and
Family Fundraising.
Families are also encouraged to attend PIP Educational workshops
which take place the first Tuesday of each month at 7:00 pm, at the school, or other designated location. Different educational
topics are discussed each month utilizing both staff and outside speakers. DVD's of each workshops are also available for
purchase for $5.
PIP information is communicated through the information board at
the entrance of the school, by e-mail, through the monthly newsletter, and in the PIP Connection binder located at the Curved
Desk. You may contact members of the PIP Council for any questions or ideas you might have at pip@shiningminds.com.
