The Country School Parents' Association (CSPA)

At The Country School, we believe that our students' educational experience is enhanced by a strong parent-school partnership. One of the many ways we build that partnership is through the Country School Parents' Association (CSPA), a parent group that supports the involvement of the parent body in the life of the school. 

All Country School parents become members of the CSPA and can participate in any or all CSPA activities based on their interests and availability. While the CSPA hosts social events to build the parent and family community, it also supports the school through a variety of parent volunteer opportunities and fundraisers.

Parents--and their children--benefit from active involvement with the school in many ways. Engaging with the school community through the CSPA, gives parents the opportunity to:

  • Meet other parents and build friendships,
  • Gain insight through the perspective of other parents,
  • Get to know the staff and daily life of the school, and 
  • Show your child that you are invested in their school experience.

CSPA Activities

The CSPA sponsors many different activities to support the school as well as connect parents with each other and the life of the school. 

Room parents. The CSPA coordinates and supports room parents for each Pre-k through fifth grade homeroom and each sixth through eighth grade level and advisory. Room parents coordinate class-specific events, help build community among each class, and support our teachers. 

Holiday breakfast. The Holiday Breakfast is a beloved Country School tradition that brings our school community together before winter break. Students dress up to enjoy breakfast with their classmates and gather for a schoolwide assembly at which parents join them to celebrate the holiday season.

School supplies for every student. At The Country School, there is no dreaded or overwhelming list of school supplies sent home for parents to race to purchase before September. Instead, the CSPA raises funds to purchase and distribute school supplies requested by teachers that are waiting as a welcome package for each student on the first day of school. 

Cougar shop. The CSPA runs the Cougar Shop, a uniform resale shop, where families can trade in uniforms from the previous year and shop for gently used uniforms for the coming year. The Cougar Shop helps families save on uniform costs and is a great resource for students when spills, rips, or playground mud happen throughout the school day!
