Parent Board
The objective of the Parent Board is to serve as the primary organization for developing and overseeing the fund-raising events at St. Joseph/Marquette, as well as sponsoring social events and facilitating communication with parents for school events. Fund-raising helps keep tuition affordable.
The Parent Board Social Committee assists with the Back to School Picnic, Christmas Family Potluck and the Fall Teacher/Staff Luncheon.
To facilitate communication, the school has a Parent bulletin board located in the St. Joseph building.
