Parent Involvement
Strong parent involvement is an integral part of the River Park community. The school is a co-operative, parent-run organization. The Director and Teaching Assistant are the only paid staff; all administrative duties are carried out by the parents. Parents assist with field trips, organize fundraising, and serve on the Executive Board. Parents also assist in the classroom--generally, once every three months.
