Parents' Association

Welcome, Nichols Families!

Whether this is your first year at Nichols or you’ve been cheering from the sidelines for years, we’re glad you’re here.

The Nichols Parents’ Association brings parents and guardians together to support our students, connect with one another, and partner with faculty and staff. It’s a way to get to know the people who share in your student’s school experience and help make Nichols a welcoming place for every family.

There are many ways to participate. Attend a school event, volunteer your time, join a committee, or cheer on students at a game or performance. You might help welcome a new family, share your professional experience, or lend a hand behind the scenes. Whatever your schedule allows, your involvement matters.

At Nichols, encouragement is part of everyday life. As families, we help extend that encouragement by showing up for our students and for one another.

We look forward to getting to know you and sharing the year ahead.
