Parents Guild

Dear Saddle River Day School Families,

A strong sense of community is one of the qualities that makes SRDS so special. The Saddle River Day School Parents Guild is proud to help nurture that spirit by bringing families together, encouraging involvement, and supporting the programs, events, and experiences that enrich school life.

As parents and guardians, we all share a common goal: helping our children grow, thrive, and succeed. The Parents Guild provides opportunities for families to connect with one another, engage more deeply in the life of the school, and support the students, faculty, and staff who make SRDS such a remarkable place. Whether through volunteering, attending events, participating in meetings, or simply lending your support, every contribution helps strengthen our community.

The Parents Guild is fortunate to be supported by a dedicated and generous parent community. The time, talents, and enthusiasm of our families make it possible to create meaningful experiences, celebrate important traditions, and provide opportunities that enhance the student experience throughout the year. Together, we help cultivate the welcoming and connected environment that is such a hallmark of SRDS.

Whether you are new to the SRDS community or have been part of it for many years, we invite you to become involved in the SRDS Parents Guild in whatever way feels right for you. Whether by attending a meeting, volunteering at an event, sharing an idea, lending your talents, or simply participating in our activities, every level of involvement is valued and appreciated. Some of the most meaningful connections are formed when parents come together with a shared purpose, and we look forward to creating opportunities throughout the year for families to engage, connect, and build lasting relationships.

We also invite you to join us at our monthly Parents Guild meetings in the Alford Hall Performing Arts Center (PAC). Typically held on the first Thursday of each month at 8:30 a.m., these meetings provide an opportunity to learn about upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, and school happenings while connecting with fellow members of the SRDS community. A Zoom option is available for those who are unable to attend in person.

Thank you for being an important part of both the Parents Guild and the SRDS community. We are grateful for your partnership and look forward to working together throughout the year to continue building the strong sense of connection, involvement, and community that makes SRDS so special.

Warmly,

Cadien Mayers & Alana Murphy
