THE CRIA PARENT ASSOCIATION

We love our Parent Association!

The Parent Association is an active part of the school community, promoting a sense of pride and belonging for all families. The Parent Association believes that there is a direct relationship between parent participation and student performance at school. The Parent Association works to establish effective communication between parents and the school administration. They also work with the school administration to support the academic and co-curricular efforts made on behalf of the students. Many fun events are sponsored by The Parent Association, including the Halloween Haunt, Holiday Gala, Spring Cocktail Party, Party at the Playa, Teacher Appreciation events, and various special awards for students in the areas of academics, sports, leadership, service, and spirit. The Parent Association invites interested parents to attend meetings and to join the organization as a class representative or special committee member.
