The guiding principle for PEG  (Parent Engagement Group) is to be Welcoming Ambassadors with a Whole School vision to Cultivate Strong Partnerships.

We focus on three main priorities:

  • Recruit volunteers for school events

  • Build connections between families

  • Welcome new and transitioning families

There are ongoing parent meetups to build community. Check your email for reminders (or email us at peg@greatriverschool.org if you’re not seeing the reminders for parent meetups!)

PEG hosts monthly planning & education meetings in person at GRS and on zoom https://us02web.zoom.us/j/3976588186 Meetings are usually the third Monday of the month at 6pm. Guest Speakers are featured at the start of the meeting. Meeting times are on the GRS calendar and everyone is welcome to attend! We typically also host a restaurant fundraiser the same day as the meeting. This month’s is Parkway Pizza in Roseville on 2/18 from 11am-8pm.

Build Community by getting involved!
