What is the Parent Association?

The Marylhurst School promotes a strong partnership between families and the school. In many ways, parents are the backbone of The Marylhurst School experience, and it is their dedication and involvement that drive many of the activities that are so beloved at TMS.  The primary role of the PA is to promote a sense of community among the parents of our school, to provide a strong communication link between the parent body and the school (faculty and administration), to provide the school with support in the classroom (Room Parents) and with assistance in administrative tasks and school activities, and to provide enhancements to existing programs within the school. 

More information about the Parent Association can be found through the links below.

  • PA Meetings are typically held on the second Friday of each month in the Trillium Building on our Oregon City campus. Please check the calendar as some meetings have been adjusted due to conflicts.
