Parents!!!

The purpose of the Association is to act in a supportive capacity to strengthen the school  and its programs and to promote school spirit and a sense of community through active volunteer participation. The Trustees, Headmaster, Faculty and Staff of NYA recognize the importance of a strong Parents’ Association and regard this organization with respect. The involvement of NYA parents and the human resources that accompany their participation ensures a high quality of student life and support needed to carry out programs and activities that meet the goals of the school. The Parents’ Association is a volunteer group subject to the oversight and control of the Board of Trustees of North Yarmouth Academy.

The NYA Parents’ Association:
Strengthening our community.

The NYA Parents’ Association supports and strengthens the school through a variety of volunteer-led initiatives. We promote school spirit and foster a strong sense of community by responding to the needs of the faculty and staff with volunteer support and financial resources. As a result of
several regular fundraising programs, we administer a grant program designed to support school needs outside of the regular budget. We also implement programs for NYA parents on a range of parenting topics. As a parent or guardian of an NYA student, you are a member of the Parents’ Association.

We understand that the demands of daily life can make it difficult to volunteer. Our organization is flexible. A big part of what we do is communication. Class parent volunteers, who report to the Parent Association, are in constant contact with their fellow parents, promoting and clarifying the sometimes dizzying array of events at NYA. Within the class parent communication will be volunteer opportunities as they come up. You’ll find a wide range of volunteer tasks. Many of our projects are limited in scope and are well suited to today’s crazy schedules.

Details about our regularly scheduled events can be found on our “Regular Events” page. Thanks for visiting and please feel free to comment on the site, or to email us at parentsassociation@nya.org.
