SSA / Sycamore Parents

The Sycamore School Association (SSA) is a volunteer-led parent and family organization that supports the programs, philosophy, and community of Sycamore School. In other words, our school’s “PTA”. As such, every Sycamore family is a member, with an Executive Committee that plans events and shares social and volunteer opportunities throughout the year.

Community Connection:
SSA fosters school spirit and meaningful family connections through social events that enrich the Sycamore experience. From parent-organized classroom parties in EC and Lower School to multi-grade events in Middle School, SSA supports meaningful connection at every grade level throughout the year. In addition, SSA brings the entire community together through a series of all-school events—here are a few of the key events on the SSA calendar: 

All School Social 
Sycamore’s “Back to School Night” for students and families to visit classrooms, meet teachers, catch up with friends, and greet new families before classes begin.

Spirit Week
A week of wacky dress up days and an all-school food drive in support of a local food pantry. The week ends with a “Sycamore Spirit Day” all-school pep assembly.

Fall Parent Social
Parents Night Out hosted by SSA at a rotating local gathering place. A kid-free event, details will be announced at the start of the school year, so pencil-in your sitter now!

Gifts Galore
A Sycamore holiday tradition! SSA hosts a 2-day “pop-up” market  where students can shop for loved ones and bring purchases home wrapped and ready for the holidays!

Sycamore Carnival
An all-school family event held typically after winter break featuring carnival style games, activities and food!  

Staff Appreciation Week
During this celebratory week, the SSA thanks teachers, administrators, and staff for a wonderful year with daily treats and other expressions of appreciation.
