Parental Support

Parental support is one of the major and most 
necessary assets of the School.  It not only fosters 
growth of all the students, it is required for the 
continued existence of the School community.  

Parents are expected to take a positive, active 
role in their children's education and the activities 
of the School. When the work is shared by 
all the parents, the load is light and enjoyable.  

On the other hand, parental actions which disrupt the 
School community or the educational process can harm 
all students and impede the School's ability to provide a 
quality, caring educational environment; such adverse 
parental actions can result in the parent's children being 
removed from the School.

Parent Volunteer Organization (PVO)                 
Every parent or responsible party automatically 
becomes a member of the St. John Neumann 
School PVO upon enrolling a student in 
St. John Neumann School.

A private school needs an organization to foster a 
close-knit bond between the parent body and the 
faculty/administration of that school. The Parent 
Volunteer Organization also provides for many of 
the financial considerations that are unique to 
private schools.

The Parents Volunteers enlist the aid, support and 
service of all its members in various projects 
throughout the school year. For example, when 
schools need something built, fixed, moved, etc., 
members readily volunteer their skills, time and 
energy. When special projects for the students arise 
members respond as needed. The Parent Volunteer 
Organization works with the Development Office 
to raise money for operating expenses, special 
events, and items needed in academic instruction.
