Parent-Teacher Fellowship (PTF)

PTF gives families a chance to serve within the Academy community.

The PTF Calendar here gives a good overview of the service opportunities available throughout the year, while those service opportunities are described in fuller detail below.

If you’d like to help with PTF, we invite you to write us here.

Each service hour you complete goes towards your Annual Volunteer Hours. Ten service hours are required per family, per year.

We hope you’ll join us!

Ways to Serve

  • Room Parents serve in these ways:

    • Class Ambassador: Serve as a liaison between PTF, your class teacher and other class parents.

    • Wednesday Lunch Coverage: Using Sign-Up Genius, coordinate lunch coverage for your class teacher on the last Wednesday of each month.

    • Teacher Lunch Sponsorship: Along with your fellow class parents, prepare one lunch (on one of those Wednesdays) during the academic year for the WCA Faculty & Staff.

    • Service Project: Orchestrate the class service project with the aid of your class teacher.

    • Teacher Appreciation Week: Reach out to your class parents prior to this big week to remind them to show love and appreciation to their teachers.

  • Party Planners coordinate the following events:

    • Holiday Feasts & Celebrations: Orchestrate class events related to Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.

    • Teacher & Staff Birthdays: Remind fellow parents when it's time to celebrate your designated Teacher & Staff birthdays.

  • Help our teachers by gifting them items from their wishlists, which may be found here.

  • If you find it hard to commit to being a Room Parent or Party Planner, rest assured: There are many other smaller ways you might help throughout the year. Only contact us when you're able, and we'll help you find the best way to serve.
