Home & School Association

The mission of the Home & School Association (HSA) is to support the Carondelet Catholic School community by successfully organizing and implementing community-building projects and events. Additionally the Home & School Association will work with classroom and grade representatives to provide support by organizing parent volunteerism and community in the classroom. 

As a working committee, the Home and School Association allocates association funds within the annual budget guidelines, promotes and sponsors parent-school activities, enhances community connection and builds school spirit. 

The members of HSA are made up of parent volunteers and all school families automatically become members. Home & School is successful when many families share their time, talent, and unique perspectives to build community among students, parents, faculty, and staff. 

Carondelet's HSA meetings (open to all community members) include updates from the Home & School Executive Board, School Administration, and event committees, as well as a speaker night for parents a couple of times a year.

Volunteer Opportunities>> 

Carondelet Catholic School depends on dedicated volunteers to foster a strong sense of community and to assist our valued faculty, staff, and students. From reading in the classroom and chaperoning class trips to helping with key fundraisers and staffing special events, we ask every family to contribute in some way. Many hands make light work!

Room Representatives

Room Representatives (aka Room Reps) are essential in realizing the Home and School Association’s (HSA’s) mission of supporting the school faculty and building community. 

Each classroom will have a Room Rep Communication Captain who will be the sole person communicating with the teacher and emailing families. The remaining Room Reps will work together, with the Communication Captain, as a committee to support the teacher and classroom community. This includes recruiting volunteers to help in the classroom and helping to coordinate projects and classroom parties. Room Reps are requested for each Pre-K–Grade 5 classroom and each grade level in Middle School.

2025-26 Room Representatives (TBA)

Ways to Support Home & School 

Carondelet Spirit Nights: Carondelet Spirit Nights are fun family community events. On designated dates, Carondelet friends and families can dine or shop with our partner vendors, and a percentage of the sales go to Carondelet! In addition, we try to plan a handful of sporting event spirit nights for families to enjoy cheering on a local team with their school community.
