What is the PIC?

Parent Involvement Committee (PIC) - The GVA-DC version of a PTO.  

PIC is a parent-led group that works in partnership with school staff to help build community, support school events, coordinate volunteer opportunities, and create meaningful ways for families to stay involved. From book fairs and spirit nights to hospitality, fundraising, and volunteer coordination, PIC plays an important role in helping our school feel connected, supported, and fun for students, staff, and families alike.

 

Whether you are looking for ways to volunteer, want to stay informed about school events, or simply want to meet other families, PIC is a great place to get involved.
