Parent Events and Volunteer Opportunities

Pingree parents and guardians are valued members of the Pingree community. We hope to see you on campus throughout the year at a variety of events hosted for parents or by volunteering directly with Pingree programs.

For questions, please contact Director of Alumni and Parent Engagement, Ashley Goliti-Chase.

Grade-Level Socials

Each year, the Pingree Parent Network, in coordination with Pingree administration, host grade-level socials (formerly known as "parent potlucks") on campus to connect with fellow parents and guardians and to hear important updates from the school relevant to their student's grade. The grade-level social dates for academic year 2021-22 are:

Grade 9 | October 5
Grade 10 | October 14
Grade 11 | October 26
Grade 12 | May 5

A formal invitation with further details will be shared with parents and guardians.

Volunteer Opportunities

Pingree Parent Network

The Pingree Parent Network (PPN) aims to enhance the student experience and to facilitate opportunities for parents to connect with each other and engage in the Pingree community. To learn more about the initiatives of the PPN, please visit the Pingree Parent Network webpage.

If you are interested in learning about opportunities to support the PPN, please contact PPN Director, Meredith Tedford P'23.

Snack Shack

Fully supported by parents, the Pingree Parent Network Snack Shack is a great way to meet fellow parents, and enjoy the exciting buzz of afternoon programs. Parents can support the Snack Shack either by staffing the Shack or contributing baked goods. Fall Snack Shack sign-ups are now available: please sign up here to volunteer for a shift or to contribute baked goods.

Local L.A.B.

If you have a particular skill, hobby, research interest, or area of expertise (or know anyone who does) that could enrich student learning, we invite you to consider sharing your talent, either in a winter workshop or by hosting a spring trip through Pingree's Local L.A.B. program.

Please contact Jessica Angell if you are interested in participating or learning more about how you can support experiential learning.

Senior Projects

If you are able to offer an internship, mentorship, or apprenticeship, be it creative, service-oriented, or career-focused, we encourage you to share your time and expertise by serving as a Senior Project Supervisor. Senior projects take place during a 45-hour time commitment over the course of two weeks, after academic classes have ended (typically the last two full weeks of May).

Please contact Meg O'Neill if you are interested in participating or learning more about how you can support senior projects.

Pingree Fund Parent Committee

The goal of this committee is to reach 100% parent participation in making a tax-deductible gift to the Pingree Fund. Each year, a dedicated group of 20+ parent volunteers reach out to 12-15 fellow parents asking them to make a gift or pledge to support the Parent Pingree Fund throughout an 8-week solicitation period in the fall.

For more information or if you would like to participate as a committee member, please contact Di Mathey.

School Store

The School Store is a great way to interact with students and allows for flexible hours. Volunteers are needed to help staff the store for major school events such as Parent Visiting Night; admission events such as Revisit Days; and on a regular basis during the week. If you have 1-2 hours each week to volunteer, or if you are interested in volunteering only during major events, we would love your help! Please contact School Store Coordinator Stacey Gordon for more information.
