Parent Involvement
Why do we ask parents at Perimeter School to be highly involved?
Perimeter School benefits from the many wonderful gifts offered by our involved moms and dads. However, the greater reason we ask for your commitment is to benefit you and our other families who desire to live out authentic, biblical community together.
We hope that you'll feel excited about the prospect of serving alongside our faculty and other school parents to bless our community with your gifts! The summary below outlines the estimated amount of participation we request from our parents.

All grades hold twice-yearly parent-teacher conferences, and some parents will be selected as "Parent of the Month," which may include optional weekday serving opportunities. Evening commitments are on Mondays; please note that families with multiple students often have meetings on the same date to minimize the overall number of evenings.
