THE APPLE HILL FAMILY APPLE HILL FAMILY INVOLVEMENT Siblings – Our students’ brothers and sisters are welcome to attend all room parties, Conferences, and the Apple Hill Carnival. This is our way of making it easy for parents to attend events at Apple Hill.

Sign-up for these very special days through your classroom teacher. We hope you will attend Apple Hill Academy. Room Moms and Dads - Parents may sign-up for one or more holiday parties. They, with the other volunteer parents, will plan games and activities, supply treats, and execute all aspects of the event. Working parents may participate by sending in an adult friend or relative, treats, activities, or favors. Each teacher will assign a parent to coordinate arrangements. Planning or working meetings may be held at the school, if space is available, by making arrangements through the school office. Class Telephone Mom/Dad - In the event that all the parents within the class need to be reached, the teacher or director will rely on this friendly person. Teachers' Aides - As the name implies, these parents, occasionally and optionally, may help the teacher in whatever capacity she wishes. This could include class assistance with computers, special cooking and craft projects, story dictation, cutting or labeling, and so on. Sharing Special Talents, Professions, and Experiences - Many parents have talents that, when shared with the children can be very exciting and enlightening. Many occupations, when thoughtfully shared with the children, are most interesting. Experiences such as: travel, entertainment, and family customs give children broader understanding. Please contact your teacher or the Director in order to participate in this enrichment program.
