Welcome!
We have a warm, generous, and engaged parent community. We are blessed to have so many who share their time and talents to support our school, our students, and each other. We appreciate the unique expertise and experience of all parents, and we embrace all families as partners in providing support, guidance, and inspiration for the children of our school.

“At the end of the day, the most overwhelming key to a child’s success is the positive involvement of parents.” Jane D. Hull
Parent-Teacher Group (PTG) Board
The PTG is the fundraising branch of parent leadership. The four major school fundraisers include the Scrip Program, Fall Festival, Jog-a-Thon, and the Auction. The PTG Board meets on a monthly basis and coordinates general parent meetings per year including Back-to-School Night, information and guest speaker sessions, Talent Show & Ice Cream Social, and Fine Arts Night & Family Spaghetti Dinner.
Purpose:
- Enhance communication among parents, teachers and administrators
- Assist principal and pastor to integrate school and parish communities
- Coordinate school fundraising efforts to keep tuition costs low
- Promote the integration of spiritual, educational and social resources of home, school and community to provide the best Catholic education possible
- Host hospitality events such as : Grandparents’ Day, First Communion reception, graduation ceremonies for preschool and 8th grade, Open House, New Parent Orientation, monthly Teacher Appreciation Luncheons, and all evening schoolwide community events.
Development Committee
The Development Committee consists of parents and community members whose goal is to advise and support the pastor and principal in advancing the mission and vision of St. Didacus Parish School. This volunteer group engages in long-range planning and fosters broad participation to ensure the growth and sustainability of the school.
The Committee advises in matters concerning school policy, business, enrollment, technology, legal and maintenance issues, and overall strategic development. In collaboration with the pastor and principal, the Committee implements development plans that include community and alumni relations, financial planning, building endowment funds, outreach, and public relations.
Through these efforts, the Development Committee seeks the meaningful involvement of people in the life of the school — identifying, informing, inviting, involving, implementing, investing in, and improving St. Didacus Parish School.
Room Parents
Room Parents are volunteer parents that play an important role of the PTG. These volunteers coordinate many events and interact closely with your children’s teachers. They foster positive collaboration and communication among parents, in partnership with the school. Room parents assist with fundraising, provide information and updates to classes, and coordinate special events.
