Family Association
Stay Connected to your child's learning environment and join the Family Association
Family associations at YES Prep schools exist to support the educational experience of YES Prep students. Family Associations are groups of families, parents, teachers, and campus administrators all working together! They foster closer connections between school and home by encouraging parent and family involvement, and they seek to improve the environment at our schools through volunteering and partnering with the school on campus initiatives.
What is a Family Association?
A family association is a group of YES Prep families, teachers, and staff members that facilitate family participation on campus. Family associations are led by YES Prep families and family association representatives. Family association representatives are responsible for the communication and documentation of family association gatherings and volunteer projects. These associations are similar to PTA/PTO (parent-teacher organizations), however, Family associations aim for broader family & campus support, while PTAs focus on the specific needs of a school community. These groups create opportunities for families to become more involved on campus by helping organize school events and volunteer opportunities throughout the year.
