Back to School!
Theme For New School Year
As we welcome the new school year, the Parents Council’s theme for the 2022-2023 program year is Wellness. Each school year our theme serves as a launching pad for interesting, insightful speakers and meaningful programs to bring connection with and among independent school parents, teachers, and administrators and to share ideas on parenting, child development, and education. Wellness is defined as a dynamic process of learning new life skills and becoming aware of and making conscious choices toward a more balanced and healthy lifestyle across seven commonly understood dimensions: Social, Physical, Emotional, Career, Environmental, Intellectual, and Spiritual. Parents Council, through its programming, will this year seek to explore these aspects of wellness.
Kick Off the Year at Orientation September 21, 2022
Join fellow Parent Association Presidents and PCW Representatives from member schools to learn about the vital roles and responsibilities of the PCW community. Introductory remarks will be provided by Dr. Elinor Scully, Head of National Cathedral School. Dr. Scully will touch on the theme of Wellness and be followed by a robust PCW program including how to access communications tools to help us connect as well as networking with fellow parents and schools. Continental breakfast will be provided.
