ROOM PARENTS perform several important functions at the Lower Campus in support of students in grades PK-8. They represent their children’s classes at Parent Club general meetings to ensure representation, provide assistance with class-related projects, and help to provide a communication link between parents and the Parent Club. They work at the request of the teacher, with the Head’s approval, along with other parents, providing assistance with holiday parties, field trips, in-school projects, and a variety of other events. Room parents also help welcome new families to the community throughout the year.
FAMILY FUN COMMITTEE supports the school in spearheading fun family events, such as the new student welcome pool party, outdoor movies on the Hermes Quad, and other family events throughout the year.
SPUD CLASSIC GOLF TOURNAMENT COMMITTEE volunteers help to organize the fall Spud Classic Golf Tournament. This annual event is held in December at Soule Park Golf Course in Ojai. Current parents, past parent, alumni, faculty and staff are encouraged to participate on or off the greens.
NOTICE/DISPLAY BOARD COMMITTEE volunteers ensure eye-catching notices on our message boards and support faculty in creating display boards throughout the school as needed.
SUNSHINE COMMITTEE volunteers ensure recognition of community members who are going through a difficult time, such as an unforeseen illness or passing of a loved one; or for those celebrating a birth, marriage, or other causes for support and cheer.
TEACHER APPRECIATION VOLUNTEERS organize parent groups to find appropriate expressions of gratitude to the faculty and staff during Teacher Appreciation Week, and in smaller ways throughout the year.
GALA & AUCTION COMMITTEE works with staff on Ojai Valley School’s biggest fundraiser of the year. Committee members promote ticket sales, help to gather auction items, and help make this adults-only dinner & auction fun and memorable.
UPPER CAMPUS LIAISON communicates what is happening at the Upper Campus, grades 9-12, and helps to build a bridge between the two campuses, creating opportunities for special projects and events that unify the school from grades PK-12.
