Welcome from the CRS Parent Association

A Note from Kate Paglia, Chair 

On behalf of the Parent Association (PA), I’m excited to extend a warm welcome to you and your family to the Charles River School! It doesn’t seem all that long ago that my husband Mike and I were in your shoes as new parents. One of the reasons we chose CRS for our children was the strong sense of community and the welcoming feel of the school. I hope you decide that CRS is the right fit for your family as well.

The Parent Association’s mission is to engage the parent community in all aspects of CRS life, with a focus on three areas: community service, social events, and parent education. We welcome everyone’s active involvement in our efforts to support the students, faculty, administration, and trustees in building a strong, engaged, and cohesive community. 

A parent volunteer will reach out in the coming weeks to welcome you and your family to our school. In the meantime, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Again, welcome to CRS. I look forward to meeting you.
