The Parent Support Group (PSG) at The Parenting Program provides an opportunity for students to actively utilize their leadership skills, and/or contribute special talents and resources. The PSG is comprised of teachers, administrators and active students. Involvement in PSG opens the door for students wishing to understand what it takes to participate within the Conejo Valley Unified School District parent/teacher organizations such as PTA, PFA or School Site Council. With common goals in mind, students and teachers work together to provide enriching, exciting and educational events for families enrolled in The Parenting Program.

PSG meetings are held once a month, and many opportunities for participation are available, from being a class PSG representative, to an event committee chairperson! By being part of the PSG, students become familiar with the staff and teachers, as well as parents from different classrooms. Many of the student friendships that are formed in the PSG last well beyond the preschool years.

Our Parent Support Group Newsletter is issued monthly:

The philosophy of the PSG is "You can make it happen!" Each year's events are solely determined by the interest and commitment of the currently enrolled parents. Every year is unique and memorable - due to the various talents and interests of the parents involved.

Here are a few of our most recent PSG sponsored events:

Dan Crow
Emmy award winning Dan Crow gave a free PSG benefit concert at our school. Dan is best known for performing the theme song, "Walk Outside," to the movie The Adventures of Milo and Otis, but also composed many Disney songs, most significantly for Winnie the Pooh and Dumbo.

Electric Light Parade
An evening family event involving a lot of light sticks, flashlights and glow in the dark accessories, not to mention great pizza!

Snow Day
40 tons of snow made right on the premises! For two days, kids and adults create snow people, sled down the hill, and play in the fluffy white snow.

Safety Week
A rescue helicopter lands and takes off in the school field! Kids explore police/Fire/Rescue services including visits with police dogs and horses, the swat team, the fire department, bomb squad and a sea rescue boat. An ambulance parks on the premises and conducts tours. What an exciting week!

Camp Out
Camp out close to home! Families pitch tents in the big field, experience singing around the campfire, roasting marshmallows and participating with Mr. Tom in a musical extravaganza! Stay all night, or just come for the evening.

Please join us and share your unique talents and connections!!
