Linden Avenue Home and School Association

The Home & School Association is the parent-based, volunteer organization that supports Linden Avenue School, students, parents and staff.   Its objective is:

 

·          To bring into closer relationship and communication, parents, teachers and administration of Linden Avenue School.

·          To aid in informing parents of the educational philosophy of the Board of Education and to inform the board of education and the administration of concerns of parents about the educational process in Glen Ridge Schools (taken from the By-Laws of the Association).

·          Provide fund-raising to support enrichment materials and progress for the students of Glen Ridge.

The Home & School Association meets these objectives in a variety of ways, including:

 

·          Fundraising to provide goods and services to enrich our children’s educational experience.

 

·          Coordinating services focused on education, such as the enrichment program and after-school classes offered through the Discovery Series.   Other services include the wonderful efforts of the Gardening, Playground, and School Photos committees.

 

·          Supporting our Linden teachers and staff through classroom volunteers coordinated by H&SA class parents, teacher’s choice awards, providing teachers with a $100 certificate to spend on educational materials at the NJEA convention and maintaining the library resources, coordinated by the Library Committee.

 

·          Strengthening our Linden Family community through fun, social activities such as children’s dances, coffees, Spring Fling and the International Festival!!    The Home & School Association also publishes the Linden Avenue Student Directory each year, so we can all keep in touch.

 

·          Communicating the issues affecting Linden , as well as those facing the Glen Ridge District.    The Home & School Association maintains a bulletin board in the Linden lobby and two outdoor bulletin boards (one on the back of the school and one on the front of school in the Kindergarten wing).    The H&SA publishes a regular newsletter and an annual handbook.    There are regular meetings at 7:30 PM in the Multipurpose Room at Linden .   The H&SA coordinates the emailing of flyers and reminders.   The District requests that all flyers be sent via email in order to reduce paper expense as well as backpack clutter.

 

Each year, thanks not only to parents’ generous financial donations, but also to their time and talent, the Home & School Association has contributed to Linden Avenue in many important ways.     This year we hope to put our efforts to good use once again.    Please come to the H&SA meetings to participate in this important decision making process and become an active volunteer as a chairperson, committee member or support person.   No special skill or talent is necessary – the only pre-requisite is the desire to help.   This is an excellent opportunity for you to participate actively in your child’s school experience.   If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact a member of the H&SA's  2008-2009 Executive Committee:
