Welcome to Parent Organizations

Dear Parents and Friends of Antonian:

I welcome you to this school year and wish to introduce you to the five groups on the Antonian campus that provide parents an opportunity to become involved in the life of the school and in the activities of the institution. These groups often need people to assist in the planning and implementation of the various activities it sponsors and call on parents to assist and participate. Whatever your desire, we offer these organizations as an opportunity to involve you in the life of the school.

Through these organizations, Antonian wishes to acknowledge parents as the primary educators of their children and thus place them in the front line and along with teachers, affect and influence the teaching and learning of lessons comprising of values and virtues intended to develop a better understanding of who their children are as individuals, who they are in relation to one another and what their obligations are to a fuller society.

And although you can become involved in the many activities that the school offers you as parents and especially in the activities of your children, we ask that you consider being a part of a parent group so that community is built and also that your time, talent and treasure is something that enriches the life of the school.

Let us not forget thus, that the primary goal of our student's education is to provide a foundation by which they can justify, interpret, explain and live out in practice a set of values and virtues in accordance to Catholic teachings. In order to accomplish this, parents need to become involved in the life of the school and in the activities of their children and more importantly, they must also come to learn about their role as parents and how family life can result in synchronousity of spirit, faith and living.

This pamphlet is meant to introduce the various parent organizations and invite you to participate. We wish you many blessings as you come to know how you can be better involved with the school.
 

Lastly, although the Antonian Parent Association is open to all parents, as part of the freshmen parent commitment to the school, we are requiring your participation in the activities of the Association. As you will read in the subsequent organizational pages, the activities of the Association as many but require your participation in four (4) general sessions.
 

We hope that this pamphlets helpful I discerning your involvement this year.
 

Blessings

Gilbert L. Saenz, Principal
Antonian College Preparatory High School
