Every Capital City parent is part of the PSA!

In 2008, our Parent School Association (PSA) was formed to better support children, strengthen the home-school partnership and to sponsor events that promote learning and build community. In the past years, PSA leadership has organized and sponsored many events including the teacher and staff appreciation luncheons and other initiatives to support our school.

Since its inception, the PSA has been integral in supporting the school’s mission and the efforts of teachers and staff. We are grateful for the leadership, participation, and hard work of so many families in building and supporting our Capital City PSA. Read the PSA Guidelines (Bylaws) here.
