Parent Participation and Community Building
Mulberry’s earliest beginnings in 1993 were the dream of a small group of parents interested in ideals of Waldorf Education. Our community-based school has flourished with the participation of new families who offer diverse ideas, skills and experiences. Parents are an integral part of the fabric of the school and each family’s participation is welcome and essential to the continued strength of our school community.
Enhance your child’s classroom experience
Parents are welcome to help with classroom set up and beautification, work with the teacher to share a celebration or festival, share knowledge and experience in support of the class curriculum, etc.
Strengthening the school’s governance structure
Parents and community members are welcome to join committees such as Community Development, DEIABJ working group, Finance and Health & Safety.
Join an intentional and collaborative community
Parents are welcome to all social events such as potlucks, festivals, Dad’s socials, coffee mornings, class parent meetings and parent information events.
Parents often reflect on how their involvement provides a holistic contribution to their families experience at the school. Getting involved is a great way to get to know other parents, teachers, staff and the wider community. Most importantly, our children sense the meaningfulness that comes with their parents’ contribution to the school. To them it cultivates a sense of belonging that includes not just themselves, but their whole family.
Each family’s commitment to being involved in the school in some way is crucial to the full functioning of our community. To this end, Mulberry requests that each family commit to support the school by contributing at least 30 (15 hours for single parents) “community building hours” each year. In September forms will be distributed to facilitate this commitment along with ideas on how to participate.
