Parents Association Message
The St. Andrew’s Parent Association (SAPA) is organized to promote, support and enhance the total school program. All parents are members. Dues are paid with tuition. Officers are elected each spring to serve a one-year term. In addition to organizing meetings and sponsoring events, SAPA develops a network of grade parents and provides parent leadership and volunteer support for other events sponsored by the school. SAPA operates under the general authority of the Board of Trustees and the 501(c)(3) umbrella of the school. The SAPA President serves as an ex-officio member of the Board.
