Dear CDH Parents and Guardians, 

On behalf of the CDH Parents' Association, I would like to welcome you to the 2021-22 school year. We are excited to get underway and meet all families at our upcoming events. Yes, our events are scheduled to take place this year! 

The Parents' Association is an all-volunteer organization devoted to promoting and improving the Cretin-Derham Hall community. Our mission is to make the CDH community a special place for all families and our children. In this effort, the Parents’ Association sponsors many events throughout the year which bring students, parents, faculty, and staff together in a positive and fun environment. 

The PA also provides a forum for parents to air suggestions or concerns which relate to the Cretin-Derham Hall community and will serve to enhance all students’ experiences at CDH. We enthusiastically welcome all parents to attend our monthly board meetings, which will be held at 6:30 p.m. in the faculty lounge on Nov. 9, Dec. 7, Jan. 11, Feb. 8, March 8, April 5, and May 3. These dates can also be found on the CDH calendar.

While the Parents’ Association is already preparing for the year, we need your help! You will find a brief description of Parents’ Association-sponsored events and a sign-up sheet on the CDH website. Please fill out the volunteer form online, or send in the paper form, by Oct. 30.

Finally, we are also asking each family to send in a Parent’s Association Donation of $40 per family. This will help keep the cost to attend our events affordable while allowing us to continue the great traditions of CDH. Please remit your payment, care of CDH Parent Association, to the Admissions Office. 

Thank you in advance for your participation and enthusiasm. Your PA cannot wait to meet you!

Sincerely,

Erin Kimlinger
PA President
