Parent Commitments
Parents are viewed as a huge asset to CIJS and an integral part of the Reggio philosophy and the success of the school. The following are ways parents can participate.
Policy for Parents who Cannot Participate in Special Events
In the event a parent feels they would like to be more involved in the school but cannot due to their work schedule or other conflicts, we will help them find a project or area which they can do on their own time. A member of the leadership staff will meet with the parent to find their area of interest. We will offer suggestions based on their interests and time. The following are a couple of examples
