Parent Organizations

By joining WHPS, you become part of a supportive community of families and educators. Every family is automatically part of our parent organization, with many ways to get involved, connect with other families, and contribute to school life in ways that are meaningful to you.

Parent Organizations

Community Is Part of the WHPS Experience

Joining WHPS means joining a community of families who bring energy, ideas, friendship, and a lot of fun to school life. Every family is automatically part of the parent organization for their campus, with many ways to participate throughout the year.

There are plenty of ways to get involved, but just as importantly, plenty of ways to simply show up, meet people, and enjoy being part of the community.

Some of the best parts of school happen because families help bring them to life.

Two Campuses, Two Parent Organizations

Find Your Parent Community

Each campus has its own parent organization, creating opportunities for families to connect, volunteer, support special experiences, and build relationships throughout the year.

Oxnard Street Campus

Parents at Woodland Hills Private School (PAWS)

PAWS serves families at our Oxnard campus, home to Elementary, Preschool, and Toddler programs.

Collins Street Campus

WHPS Parent Association Group (PAG)

PAG serves families at our Collins campus, bringing Preschool and Toddler families together through enrichment, events, and community-building.

What Parent Organizations Make Possible

A Lot More Than Fundraising

Parent organizations help create experiences that add connection, celebration, enrichment, and support throughout the school year.

Special Events & Experiences

Snow Day, outdoor movie nights, visiting performers, mobile tidepools, Bubble Mania, family events, and other memorable additions to school life.

Community & Belonging

Cultural celebrations, affinity spaces, community partnerships, and experiences that help families and children learn from one another.

Teacher Support

Teacher grants, appreciation events, and funding that supports ongoing professional development.

Campus Projects

Projects have included the community garden and enhancements to the Barnyard, animal habitats, and learning spaces.

Family Connection

Parent coffees, welcome events, picnics, adults-only gatherings, and other opportunities for families to get to know one another.

WHPS Traditions

Yearbooks, school merchandise, the annual gala and auction, and traditions that become part of families' WHPS years.

Families Bring Ideas to Life

The Community Helps Shape What Happens Next

Many WHPS experiences begin with a parent connection, an idea, or something a family wants to share. Families introduce us to artists, speakers, performers, traditions, organizations, and opportunities that make the school experience richer.

There is no single way to participate. Some parents take on leadership roles or help organize events. Others volunteer when something fits their schedule, share a connection, attend a gathering, or simply come enjoy the community with their children.
