CAPA is a vital part of our community, supporting students, teachers, and parents through a wide range of activities. All parents and guardians of students at Commonwealth are automatically members of CAPA, and are invited to become actively involved.

CAPA volunteers plan and/or support numerous events each year that enhance C/A student life, including:

  • Welcome Back Picnic and end-of-year Field Day and picnics
  • Community service activities and events  
  • Special end-of-quarter lunches for students and teachers
  • School fundraisers

CAPA provides opportunities for fellowship as well as an open exchange of ideas and discussion about parenting issues and networking. Parent volunteers

  • welcome new families
  • plan informal coffees and schoolwide social events to help members of our community get to know each other better
  • organize monthly meetings with invited speakers who share information and strategies on various parenting issues
Parents organized a very successful 20th Anniversary Block Party.
