Parent Resources
Parent & Family Involvement
You are your child's first and most important teacher.
Westminster Public Schools recognizes that parents/families are the child's first and most influential teachers. Parents are diverse in culture, language, and needs. They share the school's commitment to the educational success of their children. A child's education is shared by the school, family and community during the entire period the child spends in school.
Reading to children, serving as guest speakers, assisting with PTA and on school-based improvement committees are a few of the many volunteer opportunities that await parents in Westminster Public Schools. With 18 schools and several service facilities, Westminster Public Schools appreciates the valuable time parents donate to building brighter futures for our students.
In addition to the resources found on this site, parents are encouraged to contact their children's teachers and school office for more information and partner opportunities.

Student Birthday Celebrations
If you would like to celebrate your child's birthday at school, please make arrangements directly with your child’s teacher using Class Dojo or other communication channels one week before your child's birthday. Your child may bring a store-bought (preferably individually wrapped) treat to celebrate their birthday during the last 30 minutes of the school day. Please be mindful of potential allergies in the classroom. You might even choose to share pencils or another small token instead of food. If you would like to attend, arrangements must be made in advance so the office can be notified.
