Description: Class Representatives help build our SAAS community by serving as liaisons between the grade-level parents, the Family Association, and the school. They model the school's Mission, Values, and Guiding Principles.  As Family Association ambassadors, they help to build a strong sense of community by welcoming new families and promoting parent/guardian engagement in grade-level, division and school-wide events and activities. They act as a general knowledge resource for grade-level questions and recruit volunteers to lead various grade-level community building activities (coffees, parent socials, potlucks, etc.).  Duties vary in scope and time commitment and can easily accommodate parents/guardians who work full time, part time, or from the home.  Let us know if you are interested!

Description: Currently scheduled for October 15, 2022 and November 5, 2022.  Multiple shifts are available to help greet prospective families and share your SAAS pride.

Description: We hold visit days for prospective families from October through February. Parent volunteers play an important role as greeters and tour guides. 

Description: In March and April 2023, parent volunteers help support welcome events for families considering their invitation to join the SAAS community and those that ultimately make the decision to join us for the 2022-23 school year.

Volunteers recognize and thank our faculty and staff through baskets of holiday goodies at winter break and through other creative ways during Appreciation Week and at the end of the school year. (All parents/guardians/families are also encouraged to also provide support through Friday treats which are organized by class representatives.)

Description: Volunteers assist with organizing donations, purchasing additional goodies, and packaging/decorating/distributing the gift baskets.

Description: Potlucks are a great way to get to know other families. Volunteers are needed to help plan and host grade-level potlucks.

Description: Committee members and grade-level representatives plan and organize parent education events (speakers, panels, grade-level coffees, book group, etc) collaborating on content with SAAS administration, Diversity Equity and Inclusion, and Counseling staff, and with SAAS Communications to market these events. 

Description: Volunteers help promote school spirit through logo wear sales. Volunteers typically assist with logo wear at four school-wide events per year including Fall Sports Mania, Basketball Mania, and Middle and Upper School New Family Orientations.
