Acerca de la Asociación de Padres
The Buckley Parents’ Association (PA) brings together more than six hundred families. The PA relies on the generous help of volunteers each year and is a great way to get involved in The Buckley School community. All parents and guardians are automatically members of the Parents' Association.
Eventos y reuniones
The PA works to build strong relationships between parents and the school. All families are welcome to become involved with association-led events, such as the annual Welcome Back Bash and Buckley Fair. PA involvement is varied and flexible to meet every schedule. Meetings are held alternately in the mornings and evenings throughout the school year and options to volunteer can be found on large or small committees. All funds raised by the PA are donated to the school to directly support Buckley programs.
The Parents' Association meets regularly throughout the school year. A schedule of meetings, as well as meeting minutes, can be found under the Parents' Association resource board on MyBUCKLEY.
We encourage you to get involved and show your school spirit with gear from The Buckley Spirit Store!
Oportunidades de voluntariado
Los padres voluntarios son un gran ejemplo para nuestros alumnos. Dedican miles de horas a tareas cruciales en Buckley - desde la planificación de la Feria del Libro de la Escuela Inferior, proporcionando apoyo a los artistas de la Escuela Superior entre bastidores, recogiendo uniformes usados, y formando parte de nuestros esfuerzos de compromiso con la comunidad a través del trabajo de servicio. Además, el PA de Buckley hace importantes contribuciones a los presupuestos de funcionamiento y de ayuda financiera de la escuela a través de una variedad de eventos de recaudación de fondos cada año, como, Party Book, Gala y Feria. El PA ha cumplido una promesa de 500.000 dólares para la primera fase de la campaña Dare to be More y está en medio de cumplir la primera promesa de 1 millón de dólares para la segunda fase de esa campaña.
Uniformes casi nuevos
A lo largo del año, las familias tienen oportunidades en grandes eventos para comprar mercancía de la marca Buckley y uniformes casi nuevos. Las ganancias de NNU se destinan a nuestro programa de ayuda financiera, al igual que nuestros esfuerzos de recaudación de fondos durante todo el año. Todos los artículos se venden por 5 dólares.
Libro de fiestas
100% of the proceeds support Buckley’s financial aid and professional development programs.
¿Qué es un libro de fiestas?
Party Book is an online catalog of social events for members of the Buckley Community, hosted by the Buckley Community. Hosts pay for the parties, and people pay to come to the events.
