• Jamison HSA Committees 2023-2024

     Thank you for volunteering your time and effort to help make a wonderful school year for Jamison’s students! We hope this will be a rewarding experience for you and are committed to helping you in any way we can.

     

     

    Committee chairs are responsible for keeping notes and up to date reports to help with transitions. A board member will also be assigned to each committee as a point person and to keep communication and events running smoothly.

     

    The HSA has many opportunities to get parents involved. If you didn't fill out the volunteer survey, but still want to get involved, please review the current list of Committees and contact any Committee Chairperson or Board Member to get involved.

    At the end of the day, the most overwhelming key to a child's success is the positive involvement of parents."  Jane D. Hull
