Information & Volunteer Opportunities for Parents

We Are One Community

Our Tabor family is a national and global one – 13,000 parents, grandparents, alumni, and friends around the world. We strive to keep our connections strong and to uphold Tabor’s ethos in our lives, work, and communities. Most important of all, we are here to support current students – the youngest members of the Tabor family – as a network of passionate advocates, volunteers, and financial supporters.

There are many ways to take part in Tabor and thereby in the development of your Tabor student. We invite you to explore and get involved. Together, through Tabor, we are one community.

Get Involved!

We encourage you to be a part of your child’s experience, and get involved with Tabor’s Parents’ Association! The Parent Engagement team is developing Covid friendly opportunities for parents to connect with each other and with the school and will be announcing them soon.

Volunteer – Participating in PA events is a great way to get to know the teachers, staff and fellow parents/caregivers in our community. We also offer many volunteer opportunities, and would be happy to discuss them with you.

Stay Informed – Attend PA meetings and events to find out what’s going on and meet fellow parents and guardians. Keep up with parent information through the weekly Compass e-newsletter.

Join a Culture of Philanthropy

Giving has always played a major role in our community beginning with our founder, Elizabeth Taber, in 1876. Each year, thousands of supporters contribute to the Fund for Tabor, and others also help build facilities or strengthen the Tabor endowment. Within this tradition of giving, parents, grandparents, and past parents provide more than a third of all dollars given to Tabor each year
