Parent and Guardian Association

Being a parent or guardian at our school is synonymous with being a member of the Forest Ridge Parent and Guardian Association (PGA). The PGA is an integral part of the Forest Ridge community and works to support our students, faculty, parents and guardians, and programs of the school.

Mission

The mission of the Forest Ridge Parent and Guardian Association (PGA) is to instill connection and school spirit throughout our diverse community and come together in support of our students’ collective experience, while also providing opportunities for parents and guardians to foster community with each other.

The PGA also supports Forest Ridge’s strategic initiatives to reimagine community and secure a vibrant future.

Who We Are

Every family at Forest Ridge is automatically a member of the PGA. Parent and guardian volunteers offer their time, energy, and talents to help with PGA programs, events and activities throughout the year. All Forest Ridge community members are invited, encouraged, and welcome to attend monthly PGA meetings. Meetings are held on a monthly basis (September through May). For dates and times, please see the school calendar.

What We Do

Throughout the school year, there are programs and activities to help all parents and guardians feel welcomed, informed and connected. These opportunities will support both your daughter’s grade level and the school community at large. PGA-sponsored events include:

Parent/student events
Parent networking, education and social events
Faculty & staff appreciation: The PGA celebrates our faculty and staff as an expression of gratitude for their hard work and dedication during Teacher Appreciation Week in early May.

Get Involved

PGA Meetings: PGA meetings are held monthly at 8:30 a.m. at Forest Ridge. All Forest Ridge community members are invited, encouraged and welcome to attend. Please contact Casey Hall O’Rourke ’90, Director of Advancement, with any questions.

PGA Volunteer Opportunities: PGA volunteer opportunities are a wonderful way to make meaningful connections with other parents and guardians, while also supporting the student experience at Forest Ridge. For the 2023-2024 school year, we have new opportunities including grade-level representatives and leadership roles within the PGA. With a variety of opportunities to fit your schedule, you can support academics, the arts, athletics, fundraising or community- building.
