PARENT ASSOCIATION COMMITTE (PAC)
The role of the PAC is to assist the principal in achieving the goals of a Catholic School — to be a Christian community where the Catholic faith is taught and celebrated in worship — service for others is practiced and encouraged as a way to witness our faith. PAC is an appointed parent representative group, coordinated through the principal and administrative staff of the school and church.
God-Drop Parent Volunteer Network
Family participation is an important aspect of the St. Rita School philosophy. Children love to see their loved ones involved in school activities, and the Parent Volunteer Network is a great place to find out where you can spend your time in coordination with the Parent Association Committee (PAC).
St. Rita School thrives only with the support and commitment of family volunteering. By working together as an entire community, we create a JOYful
experience for our students AND families.
Please fill out this form to learn more about the Parent Volunteer Network or to be contacted for event and volunteer assistance! We look forward to working together to make our school the best it can be for our children!
