Parents

Because the interest of parents and families is so important to a child’s experience at school, Tandem families are invited and encouraged, to the extent of their interest and energy, to participate in all school activities and events.

Tandem offers students a wide variety of opportunities to express their individual talents. Students feel rewarded in their efforts when their families are present and involved during athletic competitions, dramatic productions, musical performances, Science Fair presentations, poetry/prose readings, and other presentations.

Families can also get involved in the life of the school by lending a hand in the garden or adopting a natural area on the campus, sewing costumes and painting sets for play productions, driving students to athletic competitions, chaperoning on school trips, serving up food in the lunch program, or any number of other volunteer opportunities that arise throughout the year.

Parents are particularly invited to attend Meeting for Worship every Wednesday at midday, and at other special times throughout the year as the whole school sits in shared silence together. The Upper School’s Wednesday afternoon speaker series offers another opportunity to participate in an exchange of ideas with members of the wider Charlottesville and Quaker communities as they discuss issues of importance to the school and in the world.
