Hello Clariden Families!
We are the CPO and our mission is to promote the partnership between parents, teachers and the school community at large to support the mission of The Clariden School. We envision a healthy, encouraging, transparent educational environment where all students and families feel included. We would love to partner with you on initiatives to foster an inclusive community where your voice is heard, and we can make a lasting impact on our children and families for years to come!
The CPO carries out this mission through three basic program areas: “Community Building,” “Teacher Features,” and “Raise Your Hand!” Each of these program areas is tied directly to the mission of the CPO.
The “Community Building” program stresses a greater connection between school and home. The program promotes activities for families to engage in and out of school. These activities are viewed as bringing families together to get to know one another and foster a sense of community and inclusion among our children, parents and the school.
The aim of “Teacher Features” is to enhance the educational experience for students by supporting and supplementing the needs of teachers to promote academic and enrichment activities. These may include specific asks for fundraising for educational experiences.
“Raise Your Hand!” promotes parent volunteerism. The CPO is a completely volunteer-driven organization.
We will organize programs that you can participate in as little or as much as you would like! For more information and volunteer opportunities, please visit your FACTS family portal, under the Research Documents tab. Please consider participating in planning or volunteering for some of the upcoming events!
We are looking forward to a fun and exciting year! Please do not hesitate to reach out to us at: ClaridenParentOrg@Gmail.com.

I’m incredibly humbled and excited to lead the efforts to engage our Clariden Community as YOUR CPO President! My daughter, Kinsleigh, is a 2nd grader in her third year at Clariden. My husband, Shelton, and I relocated to the Dallas area from Atlanta, GA. We enjoy watching movies, traveling, cooking, and spending time with family and friends.
My personal style is that of a servant leader who aims to LISTEN to the needs of our community, SUPPORT the initiatives of our faculty, INSPIRE our students, and EMPOWER our Clariden family. I am committed to helping our school and families grow and thrive! Active parent involvement is a cornerstone to building a thriving school community, and I look forward to lending my time and talents toward that effort.
I invite this incredible community to get involved in and support our CPO in whatever way makes sense for you and your family and embrace our goal to support our students and faculty as we strive for excellence in all we do. I look forward to building a trusting, collaborative, and inclusive culture at our school.
Hello, I’m Rachel! I am a wedding planner and co-owner of Sarabeth & Co. I gained my event experience after nearly a decade working in wedding and event coordination at venues in Dallas and Fort Worth. I earned a degree in Hospitality Management from the University of North Texas and have held the following board positions: Professional Wedding Guild 2nd Vice President, American Association of Certified Wedding Planners Secretary, Treasurer, and Vice President. I love using my experience and education to plan events our clients haven’t dreamed of yet and doing the thing I love the most – creating lasting memories. I’m married with one son, Colin, whose lively spirit is a perfect match for my energetic personality. My tireless drive is exactly what makes me one of the hardest-working event planners in Texas.
There are so many things I want to share, so many things in my life that I value, and so many things that I am excited to learn while growing alongside my new friends and community! I am a Colorado native and was lucky enough to join the great state of Texas in 2023 with my amazing family: my husband Garrett, son GP, and daughter Zoey. Both GP and Zoey are excited to attend First Grade (GP) and Cougar Prep (Zoe) at The Clariden School for the 2024-2025 school year! Throughout the many wonderful adventures and opportunities that my life has given me, it has always been important to me that I am always learning, growing, and experiencing every blessing around me. I have a passion for travel and culture which was fostered over a decade of travel all over the world. When it was finally time to wrap up the full-time travel adventures, I was inspired to ensure that my next adventure provided me with a great community in which to work fosterng stability and growth. This part of my adventure brought me to beautiful Telluride, CO, where I started a Property Management firm providing various homeowners with a complete concierge service for their primary or vacation homes. Soon enough, one of my biggest blessings arrived, and I was blessed with the opportunity to successfully sell the Property Management firm in order to shift my focus to being a full-time, work-from-home Mom. Currently, I am continuing to pursue growth both personally and professionally within a part-time role in Operational Process Administration for a Landscaping company, allowing me such peace in being able to have a steady balance. My family keeps me busy with a variety of extracurricular activities along with watching movies, creative art creation, and exploring all the fun in Texas together! I have an incredible passion for being an advocate for children and focusing on the various ways to support them in their growth and learning journey! I am thrilled to be focused on fundraising and work with such an amazing group of parents/community that is focused on the growth and happiness of our children.
I'm Jennifer Sloan! My daughter Marlee, 5, is in her second year at Clariden as a Kindergartner. We knew even before Marlee was born that we wanted her to attend the Clariden School. I wrote about the school twice for the magazine Society Life. I have had the opportunity to write in depth about the culture and mission of several schools in my career, and The Clariden School's teaching style and mission have always stood out to me as something I wish I would have had during my formative years and something I knew I wanted for my family. With 15 years of writing and media experience, I feel confident in my ability to contribute as Secretary of the CPO. I'm eager to be involved in the school and would love this opportunity. When I'm not writing and doing mom things, I'm also a yoga and meditation instructor. In my free time, I enjoy reading, eating good food, the beach, and binge watching a good Hulu series!
