The Advent Piazza is expanding!

The Advent School

Starting in the fall of 2023, the Piazza will comprise committees with specific responsibilities led by parent/caregiver chair/s.

The School will share more information and sign-ups at the beginning of the school year, and additional volunteer opportunities will remain available. Please note that Family Affinity Groups self-select leaders and those are in place for the 2023-24 school year.

Join us for a Piazza Preview this fall to learn more! There are two ways to engage: In-person and on Zoom.

RSVP to the Piazza Preview below!

Here is a list of the Committees you can join as part of the Piazza. You can join as many or as few committees as you wish.
