All parents of all students enrolled in Southfield school are members of the Parents Association. The Parents Association exists to assist the administration and faculty with many activities throughout the school year. The many committees are made up of parents volunteering their time, talent and knowledge to Southfield School. The rewards of involvement are many and our children greatly benefit from a strong and unified parent body.

The Parents Association supports the school through a variety of volunteer support and fundraising activities. Some volunteer support is year round such as the Hospitality Committee while most events are annual in nature and scheduled well in advance on Southfield's school calendar.
