The Parent Council is a vital part of the St. Clement's Parish School family. Our main goal is to support the mission of the school and to assist faculty, staff,and students in creating the optimal learning environment. EVERY parent of a St. Clement's student is automatically a member of our organization and is encouraged to participate. The St. Clement’s Parent Council is a very active organization that is involved with numerous projects, activities and fund raising efforts that support the school and offers many ways for parents to become involved with the school. Proceeds from Parent Council fund raising efforts go directly to the classrooms through the "Wish List" program for the faculty and administration. The program provides funds for classroom needs for special projects and supplementary supplies.

The Parent Council Executive Committee is made up mostly of parents who have had experience on other committees in past years. Nominations are accepted starting in March of each year for these positions. Contact the Nominations Committee if you are interested. The position starts in May of the school year and runs through May of the following year.

The Executive Committee is structured as follows:

• President
• Vice President
• Treasurer
• Assistant Treasurer
• Recording Secretary
• Corresponding Secretary
• Nominating Committee

The Parent Council supports a variety of projects at St. Clement's by way of several committees that work with projects throughout the year. We are always looking for additional parent support and involvement with each of these projects:

Hot Lunch Program: This project need parent volunteers to be at school during the hot lunch time frame: 11:20 – 12:15 p.m. This is a wonderful opportunity to interact with the students and your child. You will be checking lunch tickets and assisting the students during lunchtime. This project is ongoing throughout the school year.. You can contact the Committee Chairman to sign up for the times you would be available to assist.

National Junior Honor Society Reception: This event is held in May to honor students selected for NJHS. A cake and punch reception is held immediately following their NJHS induction ceremony. Volunteers are needed to order the cake, prepare punch, and set up the reception. There is a budget provided for this event. If you are interested in helping with this event, contact the Committee Chairman.

Room Mother Coordinators: These parent volunteers organize parties and events for the classrooms. Coordinators work with parent volunteers to coordinate and facilitate programs and events, as needed. This project is ongoing throughout the school year. Sign up sheets will be available for you to participate in your child’s classroom.

Spring Book Fair: This project is much like the Fall Book Fair, but it is held the second week of March. The Spring Book Fair raises vouchers from Scholastic for book purchases for the School library.

Wildcat Shop: Throughout the school year, the Wildcat Shop will stock and sell small school supplies, as well as P.E. Uniforms, school polo shirts, and sweatshirts. The shop will be open on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 7:45 a.m. and 8:45 a.m. Other times will be designated at a later date. During the summer, the Wildcat Shop will solicit and accept orders from parents for school supplies to be distributed before school starts. This project has many aspects in which you can be involved. Contact the Committee Chairman for more details about how you can be involved with this project.
