The close-knit WES community has always been a key element of the WES experience and bedrock of support. On our campus, families feel at home and connected to the mission of the school and each other. The WES Parents Association builds engagement and connections, expands opportunities for parent education, and explores new ways to leverage the school/home partnership.

Parents Association Mailbox
Every family is a member of The Parents Association (PA). The PA fosters interest, support, and participation among the parents and guardians of students in Washington Episcopal School and provides a forum in which parents can freely express their views to enhance the operation of the school and their experience with the school. As a vital link between parents, administration, faculty, and students, the association’s Mission is to advance an understanding of the school’s program and promote the growth and development of the school’s community. Reps from each grade help plan and coordinate community events and provide parent education and faculty appreciation events. Reps are invited in the summer to serve, and leadership is elected each year.
