Keith Parents’ Association

All parents of Keith Country Day School students are members of the Parents’ Association,
which exists to promote friendly relationships among parents, to acquaint them with the
spirit of Keith School, to obtain their cooperation with its objectives for the development
of their children and to initiate parents’ involvement in, and support for, projects and
functions which aid our school academically, socially and financially.

The Keith Parents’ Association (KPA) also serves the important function of communicating
ideas, concerns and support to the administration and faculty of Keith School.  The KPA
meets once a month to discuss the Association’s fundraising activities as well as extra-
curricular events planned and coordinated by its officers and members.  The KPA is also
an important means of communication to the administration of the school.  At each KPA
meeting, the Head of School and other administrators submit reports regarding the health
of the school.  At these meetings it is possible for parents to ask appropriate questions
of the administration regarding any aspect of school operations.  The officers of the
Association stay in consistent contact with the administration and with parents.

The overall mission of the Keith Parents’ Association is:

1. To help the school communicate with parents.
2. To help schedule, promote and host student and parent activities.
3. To welcome new parents into the Association and to instill in the new parents the
   need for their continued involvement in and support of the school.
4. To encourage pride in the children and in Keith.
5. To assist the school in promoting its reputation in the Rockford community.

KPA Grants
Monetary grants are made each year to teachers and school staff members for numerous
curricular and extra-curricular activities, and the KPA contributes significantly to the Sports,
Music and Drama departments in both the Upper and Lower Schools.
