Parent Zone

We are more than a parent group—we’re a values-driven community creating meaningful experiences for students, families, teachers & staff. This year, we are working to expand our impact and welcome fresh energy to help us do more than ever!

At Notre Dame, our PTA is more than a parent group—we are a values-driven community rooted in Notre Dame’s Mercy Core Values of compassion, respect, integrity, justice, and service. We aim to create meaningful experiences for students, families, teachers & staff. This year, we’re expanding our impact and welcoming fresh energy to help us do more than ever!

PAPA is an acronym for “Performing Arts Parents Association.” We are a group of parents who enjoy being involved with Notre Dame Performing Arts. If you ever have any questions, suggestions or comments, please email ndpapa@ndnj.org.

A Parent Ambassador is a parent who helps us spread the word about Notre Dame to their friends, neighbors, and community, as well as is available to recently admitted and prospective students to answer their questions!

Think of yourself as a member of our boots-on-the-ground marketing team. While you're out and about in your local community - at soccer games, swim meets, the grocery store, the local park or playground - you would share your ND experience. 

The senior fashion show, held each Spring, funds the post-prom event. This event is run solely by ND parents. All Notre Dame parents are welcome to join this committee. Big and small volunteer opportunities are available. It is a dynamic group of parents and you will be glad you got involved!

The mission of the Post Prom Committee is to ensure the safety of our children by offering a Post Prom experience filled with entertainment and positive choices. This endeavor is made possible through the Senior Fashion Show, the volunteer efforts of parents, community and local businesses and is fully supported by the ND administration and staff.

The Post Prom committee is a collection of ND parents from all grades, who plan for and put on an awesome event for our Seniors and their dates immediately after their prom. Post Prom continues until 5 a.m. and gives our children a safe and fun place to unwind and socialize with their friends and classmates.

Please contact Eileen Vernon (eav0165@aol.com) if you are interested in volunteering.
