Families Association
The objective of the Families Association is to promote a strong sense of community in partnership with the school, and to facilitate communication, cooperation, and involvement throughout the school community.
All parents and guardians of DVFriends students are members of the Families Association, and invited to take an active role in the Association's activities: organizing social events and activities for students, supporting faculty appreciation, and connecting families with resources to learn more about LD supports.
