At Bishop Seabury, we believe that successful education requires a close, productive relationship between parents, faculty, and students. We want parents to be fully invested in the education of their children and to feel welcome and involved at all times. One means of achieving this effective partnership is through the Bishop Seabury Association of Parents (BSAP). All parents with students currently enrolled at Bishop Seabury are automatically members of BSAP.
|
|
BSAP has only two standing officers—President and Secretary—and several Committee Chairs for various committees. These Chairs organize the efforts of parents within these committee areas. |
|
BSAP meetings occur at 6:30 p.m. on the first Wednesday of every month.
