Parents-In-Action

Parents-in-Action, a 25-year-old not-for-profit organization in the independent schools, sponsors parent discussion groups led by professionally trained facilitators to build a stronger community of parents.

Parents themselves choose the topics for each meeting, which vary according to the age group. For example, Lower School parents often bring up after-school activities and over scheduling. Middle School parents are concerned about street safety and the Internet. By Upper School, parents are interested in balancing the logistics of city living with concerns about children’s increasing demand for independence. Of course, your class may have completely different interests, and the discussion of any non-academic topic is welcome.

Next meetings:  1st grade 2/4, 2nd grade 2/10

differences in learning. In an interview with Bulletin editor-in-chief Benita
