Canterbury Parents

Thank you for visiting the Canterbury Parent Community (CPC)!

As a Canterbury parent, you are automatically part of the Canterbury Parent Community, otherwise known as the CPC. The CPC includes volunteer activities, such as teacher appreciation, special events, and our Mothers and Fathers Clubs. As we enter the school year, we hope that you will take a minute to review volunteer opportunities and tell us which areas you may be able to support. Whether you choose to serve as a classroom representative, lend a hand in the library or on a field trip, help from home, or volunteer for Extravaganza or another project, your time is appreciated. Simply put, we would not be the school we are without the extraordinary support of our families.

Canterbury Mothers and Fathers Clubs
The Canterbury Mothers and Fathers Clubs are an excellent opportunity to become more involved in your child’s school and meet the families that make up the Canterbury Community. The best part is, as a Canterbury parent, you are automatically a member!

Our Mothers and Fathers Clubs are both service and social organizations. Our role is to support the Canterbury administration, enhance Canterbury events, and encourage a strong parent community. We want you to realize that Canterbury’s biggest strength lies in a diverse community of parents caring deeply about their children.

Event details and service opportunities are shared via our weekly e-newsletter Friday Notes and also on our dedicated Facebook groups linked below.
