Parents & Caregivers

Families gather in the library for a parent education talk as a speaker presents to a full room.

Families play an essential role at Rowland Hall.

As parents and caregivers, you’re partners in your children’s education and an important part of our school community.

Throughout the year, we stay connected through clear communication, shared experiences, and ongoing opportunities for you to engage with school life. Together, our home-school partnership creates a supportive environment that allows students to do their best learning.

Home & School Association

We believe a vibrant school community includes engaged and connected families. That’s why every parent and caregiver automatically becomes a member of the Home & School Association, our parent-school organization. Participation is flexible, with opportunities for every level of involvement, from one-time volunteering to ongoing leadership.

Home & School builds strong relationships among families, students, faculty, and staff through thoughtful programming and community events. Volunteers partner with the school to organize a wide range of gatherings and activities, including classroom celebrations, used uniform sales, faculty and staff appreciation efforts, welcoming events for new families, and parent and caregiver socials.
