What is Home & School Association (H&S)? The Home & School Association may be thought of as the PTA of St. Pius X School. As stated in our bylaws, our objective is to promote cooperation between parents and teachers in our school. We do this through programs offered to create a greater appreciation of Catholic Education.
How/why to get involved?All parents/guardians are automatically members of Home & School and are encouraged to attend the meetings (see dates below). When you are involved in Home & School, you benefit by being a part of your child(ren)ʼs education. Your child(ren)
benefit because you can be involved in the decision-making process of how the funds which are raised by Home & School are allocated. Additionally, by involving yourself in
St. Pius X School and the Home & School Association, your kid(s) see that you understand the importance of their education.
Did you know?...Home & School has donated countless dollars to St. Pius X School over the years? H&S is responsible for simple things as teacher birthday lunches and
much larger ones like playground equipment and helping to pay for the air conditioning and security systems.
Upcoming Important Dates
The next H & S meeting is November 12th at the Urbandale Public Library at 7pm. ALL are welcome!
