Dear Strelitz International Academy Parents,

We are so excited to start the 2022-2023 school year with you! As the incoming PVO Chairs, we look forward to welcoming parents back into the school by providing several opportunities to volunteer for our community events and attend PVO Parent Coffees and meetings throughout the year. 

As a parent at Strelitz International Academy, you are automatically a member of the Parent Volunteer Organization!

We value your ideas, skills, talents and, most importantly, your time. Parent volunteers are vital to the success of our school community events; there are a variety of opportunities to accommodate the different schedules of our SIA parents.  Please complete our PVO volunteer survey!

Please look at the exciting programs below that we along with the SIA Staff have planned for this year. You will be notified of these events and volunteer opportunities through Parent Square, but it is a good idea to mark your calendars now! We would love for EVERY parent to get involved on some level.

We look forward to seeing you around the campus this year!
