  • PARENTS

    All Saints Day School nurtures a family environment, working in partnership with parents to enhance strong family values and support the process of an exceptional education. Parents are a valued and active part of our school community.  They help to enrich the educational experience for All Saints’ students through their involvement in the many volunteer opportunities offered through the Parents' Organization, of which all parents are members.  In return, parents are rewarded with being a special part of their children’s school lives, often enjoying lifelong friendships with other parents, which started during their years in our close and caring community.

    All Saints parents are passionate about their children’s education, and they show it in a variety of ways! Here are some of the projects and programs sponsored by the Parents’ Organization:
     
    • Parents' Organization Meetings: Parents are encouraged to attend these monthly gatherings with programs that include information about curriculum, music, art, physical education, fundraising, school activities, and more.
    • Room Parents: Parent volunteers provide classroom support for field trips, class parties, teacher gifts, etc.
    • Family Fiesta: Every May, the students treat their parents to an afternoon art show and musical performance. Parent volunteers provide refreshments and decorations for this beloved event.
    • Outreach: At All Saints, it’s not just the students involved in community service; our parents support the program by participating in activities such as our bean bagging program, as well as many other Outreach activities.
    • Fundraisers: The Parents’ Organization provides significant financial support to the school through various efforts throughout the year. The Hot Lunch Wednesday program not only serves as a fundraiser for the school but also as a community builder connecting families throughout the grades in a fun and rewarding way each week.

    Currrent Parents may log-in here.
  • ALUMNI

    All Saints graduates are a successful, diverse and talented group who range in age from 14 to nearly 60 years old, and they still stay in touch with us as the school where their educational roots were planted! They’ve attended a wide variety of competitive high schools, both locally and nationwide, and have gone on to attend an even wider variety of highly ranked colleges and universities across the country.
     
    Our alumni enjoy sharing the news of their careers, families, and travels throughout the world and we now have several second-generation All Saints students and alums. Many of our alumni are still friends with their All Saints classmates, regularly keeping in touch and getting together. We love to see our alumni come back to visit their teachers, attend school plays, the Fall Festival, or the Christmas programs, or reunite at alumni gatherings – students are, and always will be, at and in the heart of our school!

    Did you attend All Saints Day School? Please stay in touch and share information through Alumni Connect. 
    You can also get the latest news about School and your fellow alums through our All Saints Alumni page!
