The Gould Parents Association is open to all current families at Gould. Throughout the year, the GPA offers various opportunities for families to connect with one another and gain insights into their children’s experiences at Gould. Additionally, the GPA organizes programs to support families during the school year and provides opportunities to directly support Gould and show appreciation to faculty.

Join us in being an active part of the GPA! We encourage all parents to contribute their skills and available time. Regardless of your location or schedule, we have a role for you. You can assist in organizing or hosting events, aiding in fundraising, participating in Gould’s Annual Auction, showing appreciation for faculty, or connecting with other parents.
