Join the HSA Board

Deepen your commitment and make a huge impact at PAS

Time commitment: approx. 2-4 hours per week

The HSA will have several open board positions next year, and we are looking for a few interested candidates. This week we are featuring the role of Event and People Coordinator for the Upper School.

This position, along with the Event and People Coordinator for the Lower School, helps execute event plans for the Fall Festival, 5K, 8th Grade Dinner and Show, Ice Skating Party, Talent Show, etc. The Upper School Event and People Coordinator co-manages the events working group and recruits volunteers to help run and staff events. This position focuses on families and events for grades 5-8.

Sort of intrigued, but need something with less commitment? How about becoming a chair-person for just one event? We are already thinking of the events that will come up at the start of next school year such as Uniform Swap, New Family Meet & Greet, and the Ice Cream Social. View job descriptions HERE.

Board positions can be split between two people. New board members will be voted on/announced at the May 23 HSA meeting, and the two-year term begins July 1.

How to Contact Elected Officials

Want to Take Action but Aren't Sure Where To Start?

There are many federal, state, and local policies that have a direct impact on our school community. Just as we are encouraged to share our stories within the PAS community, we should also share our stories with our elected officials – to let them know how their policies impact our families and our communities, and to advocate for the issues that matter most to us.

The PAS Equity Circle has put together a guide to help you get in touch with your representatives. This guide is not intended to tell you what to say, but simply to give you the tools to have your voice heard.
