parents' association

The Redwood Day School Parents' Association (RDSPA) is a parent-run organization that:

• Builds and sustains positive and productive relationships within the Association and with the greater school community;
• Cultivates a sense of ownership among parents by maintaining a diverse board and an active membership which is reflective of the community; and
• Organizes and governs in a manner that facilitates healthy interactions and outcomes.

Every Redwood Day School parent is a member of the Parents’ Association and is encouraged to participate.

The association, governed by the Parents’ Association Board, coordinates and staffs fundraising and volunteer opportunities for the school. Each of the Parents’ Association committees has a chair or co-chairs and is staffed by volunteers who choose one-time and ongoing opportunities to be involved as they prefer. Room parents coordinate support for classroom or grade-level activities. To volunteer, contact:

• Debbie Degenshein Lower School Parent Participation Coordinator, or
• Tracey Borst Middle School Parent Participation Coordinator
