Welcome to the 2024-2025 School Year from your HS Council
Dear High School Parents,
On behalf of the High School Council of the Lab Parent’s Association (PA), welcome back! We extend an especially warm welcome to those families just joining our community! We hope everyone had a safe and relaxing summer.
The role of the HS Council is to support parents, faculty, and students at Lab’s University High School.
Our involvement includes:
Discussing the perspectives of parents with High School administrative leaders
Supporting innovative faculty ideas through our PA Grant program,
Planning graduation celebrations and other student activities and
Providing forums for parents to discuss U-High programming and other topics of interest.
More details about important High Schools dates and PA-sponsored events for the 2024-2025 school year will be announced through the PA website www.labparents.com and Enews (Lab School’s bi-weekly e-newsletter will include key information about meetings, events, etc).
In addition, once school is in session, we encourage you to attend our HS Parent to Parent (P2P) meetings. Please see regular Enews announcements for exact times and Zoom registration information. You might also like to subscribe to the All School and High School Calendar: found on the Parent Portal of www.ucls.uchicago.edu
As a parent at Lab, you are already a member of our Parent’s Association. The PA holds three general meetings per year that all are welcome to attend, The first general meeting of the year will be October 7,6:00-7:30pm, via Zoom. There are also other ways to get involved in the Lab community. Please fill out Volunteer Sign-up form to indicate your interest in volunteering.
As your elected representatives of the HS parent body at Lab, we are available to answer questions, listen to concerns and comments, or assist you at any time during the school year. It is a privilege to serve the parent body and we are committed to making school life as engaging and enjoyable as possible for our parent community.
Here’s to a wonderful school year!
