Parent School Organization

Parents/Caregivers are the backbone of Duke School, serving our community in countless ways and ensuring bright futures for our children. All parents are members of Duke School's Parent School Organization (PSO)! 

Duke School's success is largely due to the extraordinary parents/caregivers who volunteer to support events and programs throughout the school year.

Volunteering, in addition to providing enormous benefits to Duke School, also provides parents/caregivers with opportunities to be involved in the Duke School community, meet other grown ups, and get to know the school in new ways. 

Join Us 

The PSO is looking for volunteers to help with different committees this year.  Please email the committee leads for more information!  We would love to have you!

• Chair and Teacher/Staff Appreciation Committee: email Jen Rosen
• Fall Festival/Event Planning: email Stephanie Vandergrift
• Community Service and Outreach: email Emily Anderson 
• LIFE: email Kimberly Shaw

One of our most important committees is Duke School's PSO L.I.F.E. (Learning, Inclusion, Family, Equity & Empowerment) Committee. The L.I.F.E. Committee members serve as ambassadors, advocates, and learners to ensure a culturally competent and inclusive Duke School community.

In addition to events (to be announced) in the upcoming school year, we will be holding recurring conversation groups to discuss topics regarding diversity in our community. All parents are welcome and encouraged to join a conversation. To get involved or for questions, email Kimberly Shaw.

Teacher/Staff Appreciation and Recognition

Is it in our tradition to recognize all Duke School staff for their hard work and student support. To help contribute and recognize our staff, please venmo @JenRosen127 or PayPal jenniferlynnrosen@gmail.com.  

In addition to the locally sourced items, we have created an Amazon Wish list for other items that we would like to use to create the baskets. All items will be shipped directly to Jen Rosen. If you would like to shop off the Amazon Wish List, please stay tuned for more information.

Finally, if you would like to pick up local items, please email Jen Rosen @jenniferlynnrosen@gmail.com to coordinate.
