Parents Association and Volunteer Opportunities
The Parents Association (PA) serves as a liaison between Browne Academy parents and the school’s administration. Every family at Browne Academy is a member of the PA.
The Parents Association is dedicated to enhancing the growth and development of the Browne Academy Community. It provides a forum for parents to obtain information, ask questions; serves as a liaison between parents and the Browne administration to ensure consistent and effective lines of communication; enhances the student experience through active participation in the Browne community; and supports the mission and priorities of Browne. The PA’s major goals are to:
- Promote cooperation and communication among parents, faculty, staff, trustees and students.
- Provide a means for parents to be of service to the school.
- Supplement the school’s social and educational offerings.
- Foster interest in the life of the school.
Your child’s years at Browne Academy are among the most impressionable of his/her life. If you want to play an active role in guiding your child’s experience at the school, we invite you to become an active member of your PA. We also encourage you to join one of the various committees responsible for working with Browne Academy toward making the Browne Academy experience the best it can be.

Teacher and Faculty Appreciation EventsWe have several events planned throughout the year to show our Browne Academy faculty and staff how much we appreciate their time and efforts. This year, we will celebrate with Conference Day Luncheons and Surprise Celebration Treats, as well as with Appreciation Week, which culminates with the Annual Breakfast Event. Thanks to Browne Academy parents, faculty breakfast that day will consist of more than a cup of Joe and cold bagel: Parents donate breakfast foods, gift cards, and their time to allow the faculty to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the morning rush.
Volunteer Opportunities: Setup, donations, carline assistance, breakfast server, playground supervision, cleanup. -
