Current families: log in to MySchoolApp for the latest parent resources and information.

Welcome All Families!

As the parent or guardian of a Nichols student, you are a valued member of the Nichols School Parents’ Association. Your voice is important and as a leadership team, we are both honored and grateful to be representing you for the upcoming school year. 
 
The Parents’ Association is led by our Parent Council, made up of elected representatives including our Executive Leadership Team, two to three Grade Representatives per class year, and a team of At-Large Members. 
 
Whether you are a new or existing family, our advice for the best experience possible is to get involved in whatever ways are most meaningful to you. Volunteering for a planned grade rep event, attending a family coffee, listening in on a Zoom call, participating in Community Service Days, or donating a much-needed item for your class, are all ways to get to know one another, make new friendships and help to support the mission of the school. 
 
For more information about volunteering, please contact Ben Gerhardt, Director of Family Engagement and Philanthropy, at bgerhardt@nicholsschool.org or reach out to any member of our Executive Leadership Team!
 
The primary source of written communication for families is through the resources section of MySchoolApp
 
If you have any challenges with your MySchoolApp login, email support@nicholsschool.org
 
Additionally, please make sure that your email is up to date with the school so you receive important correspondences throughout the year. 
 
Other forms of communication include: 
  • Weekly newsletter, Quad Connection
  • This Parents’ Association webpage on the Nichols website
  • Emails from your Grade Rep and Leadership Team
  • Important, time-sensitive messages from the school via email
  • Social media updates on Facebook and Instagram

Thank you, and we look forward to working together. We will make this a great year!
