As children’s first teachers, we see parents as a crucial ingredient in the overall success of our students. But the partnership goes beyond that. Parent involvement makes for a better school and a more enriching experience for the whole Schaefer Community. Schaefer LIFE & Families is the parent-lead, non-profit organization charged with bringing together Schaefer Charter School students, parents, staff and teachers, while creating a sense of community. Schaefer Families provides much needed, engagement opportunities like Beautification Days, Family Movie Nights, dances and much more.
