Parent involvement is
greatly expected and encouraged. Parents are a vital component of
the Mountain Road community and are invited to share with the school
any special skill they may have. This has ranged from Ukrainian
egg decorating and Gingerbread House workshops to storytelling and
African drumming as well as sign language, chess club, music instruction,
assisting in the classroom and accompanying field trips. Younger
siblings are always welcome to join in school events and celebrations.
Parents may also meet their participation
requirements by serving on the school's Board, Teachers' Collaborative
Council, or Strategic Planning, Development, and other committees.
Parents also help with our Work Days, fundraising activities,
Theater Program, Open Houses, grant writing, computer and website
updating, public relations, and evening Parent Nights or programs.
"Mountain Road School offers much
of what I would hope to provide as a home schooling parent: child-led
learning, respect for children, spiritual aspect. We like the
family-like nature of the school - its small size, lots of parental
involvement, and being part of the Abode."
