What is the Parent Support Group?

As a Charter School, we rely greatly on input, support and involvement from all our parents.  Your time, energy and financial contributions make many of our programs possible. The Parent Support Group is the fundraising body that provides the money for our enrichment programs, teaching assistants, equipment and supplies.  In 1983, parents at Kenter organized a non-profit corporation, the Parent Support Group, to raise money for art, music, drama, physical education, computers, teacher’s assistants and many other extras that enhance our school.  This is a 501(c) (3) charitable organization and donations to it are tax-deductible.  This Group is organized and run by parent volunteers who put on fundraisers and coordinate more than $350,000 raised annually.

All parents are automatically members of the Parent Support Group and are encouraged and welcomed to attend the PSG meetings.  During these monthly meetings you will have the opportunity to discuss ideas and concerns, meet other parents, and become involved in the events at the school.Discussions can include, ideas for events, enrichment programs, parent education, school improvements, additional resources, and other campus related subjects. These meeting are the best resource for learning more about what is happening at your child's school. 

If you have topics you would like to have included please ask prior to the meeting to have them added to the agenda (contact C. Clark or D. Barnett). The meetings alternate monthly between 8:30am and 6:30pm start times.
