St. Helen School recognizes the parents as the primary educators of their children. We are committed to working in partnership with parents to ensure that each student reaches their full potential. Parents participate in the life of the school through their involvement in the many events and activities planned by the students, faculty, staff, and Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) at St. Helen School, as well as through participation in the volunteer service hour program.

Parent Communication
Parent communication is important at St. Helen School. The administration and faculty strives to keep families informed of school and parish events throughout the school year. Families receive monthly calendars, hot lunch program menus and newsletters and reminders from the office of the principal. Each classroom teacher sends home weekly reminders and updates keeping families informed of events and activities at St. Helen School as well as St. Helen Church throughout the school year. |

Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)
The Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is an organization created to help with effective communication between the pastor, principal and the parents of St. Helen School and to help plan and facilitate school activities, fund raising events and other school functions. The PTO Board is made up of 10-12 parents who meet monthly September through June. General parent meetings for all St. Helen School parents are held in September, November, January, March and May. All parents must attend the general parent meetings which will help keep parents informed of school events, activities and issues critical to raising good Catholics in today's society. |
