The Bentley Parent Association is a fun and social way for parents to be involved with the school. Through meetings, volunteer opportunities, and events, we help foster thoughtful conversations at school and at home while supporting parents as their child’s academic and social journey unfolds.
As parents and guardians of Bentley students, you are part of the dedicated, talented, and generous community that forms the Bentley Parent Association (BPA). The BPA supports Bentley’s mission and activities, facilitates communication, and builds a community around a shared vision of excellence. Your contribution is welcomed by our vibrant students and superb faculty.
Active involvement in our community is also personally rewarding: you can form enduring friendships and fond memories participating in BPA events. We encourage you to get involved and share your ideas and talents to nurture our community.
Here are a few ways parents support the school:
volunteer as a member of the Executive Committee or Room Parent
chaperone a class field trip
support a class celebration
host a parent social event
assist at a performing arts event
contribute to a Faculty and Staff Appreciation event
support the Annual Gala and Auction
BPA Meetings All Bentley parents and guardians are members of the Bentley Parent Association. Throughout the year we hold General Meetings where our trustees, faculty, and administrators present topics of interest to parents.
