The Parent Participation Organization, more commonly known as the PPO made its debut in 1972 alongside Parent Committees.

The main purpose of school PPO’s, designed exclusively as a forum for parents, is to promote participation of parents in school life. A PPO may advise the governing board regarding any matter of concern to parents or any matter concerning which the organization is consulted by the parents’ representatives on the governing board.

PPO can be an uplifting, exhilarating and enriching adventure for everyone.

The goals of Riverdale's PPO:

If this sounds like something you as a parent would be interested in, contact us here and we will let you know when a date or our next meeting has been set.

We look forward to having you join this exciting and rewarding committee.

Concerned Parent?

As the parent of a high school student, or as one with a child about to embark on their high school career, there are probably dozens of questions you'd love to have answers to. That's the goal of the Parent's Corner - it's designed to be a place where concerned parents can ask questions of members of Riverdale's PPO, and get straight answers.

Our FAQ is under construction and will be posted shortly. For now, if you've got any questions, don't hesitate to contact me here.
