The Parent Involvement
Partnership (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.
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.
