About the Clariden Parent Organization (CPO)

The Clariden Parent Organization (referred to as the "CPO") is the school's parent organization, made up entirely of parent volunteers. The objectives of the CPO are the following: 

• To support the mission of the school
• To supplement special finance needs of the school
• To encourage parent involvement in the school
• To support an interactive relationship among parents, staff, and the Board of Directors of the school
• To otherwise assist the students, faculty, parents, and community of the school in any way beneficial

All parents are automatically members of the CPO. The CPO welcomes you to the school and we look forward to getting to know you. All parents are encouraged and expected to be involved and contribute to the school. You may contribute with your time, treasury, and talent. Please find the opportunities that fit your schedule. The CPO welcomes parent volunteers for any event, and we look forward to your involvement.
