Notre Dame Academy is an engaged volunteer community that fosters an environment where students flourish and achieve their unique potential.
Volunteer at NDA
NDA depends on our incredible team of volunteers to assist faculty, staff, and students in a variety of ways. We strive to provide volunteers quality experiences and opportunities that build strong relationships across the diverse Notre Dame Academy community.
Parent Volunteers: The Home and School Committee
The purpose of Home & School is to enhance the NDA community’s educational and social environment through hospitality, events, and enrichment opportunities. NDA parents are invested in finding ways for students, parents, and staff to connect, creating an environment where all flourish academically, socially, and spiritually.
Every parent is a part of Home & School. The Home & School Committee (HSC) is a group of parents that meets monthly at school to help with the planning of various events such as the Marathon Fall Festival and Dine Out for NDA nights at local restaurants, support teacher appreciation activities, and coordinate recess and other school volunteers. All parents are encouraged and welcome to attend the committee meetings, learn more about volunteering, and connect with other parents. Meeting dates and times will be shared here and on the school calendar. Please reach out via the contact form for more information.
