A Strong Home-School Partnership

Hewitt families, faculty, and staff partner around the shared goal of educating girls and young women. Throughout the year, we offer parents and guardians a variety of opportunities to learn from thought leaders, authors, and education experts; forge relationships with one another; and help us build a community of belonging.

Signature Programming for Parents and Guardians

  • From morning coffee talks to evening lectures, Hewitt parents and guardians are invited to learn about the developmental stages of girls and young women and engage with research-informed practices that improve girls’ lives and outcomes.
  • Families have access to experts in a variety of fields, including psychology and mental health (Dr. Lisa Damour and Dr. Rashidah Bowen White), college admissions (Adam Ingersoll and Ron Lieber), and financial literacy (Bernstein Private Wealth Management).
  • Hewitt's own faculty and staff share their expertise via workshops and coffee talks focused on raising high achieving, healthy, and happy girls; research-backed teaching practices; responsible digital citizenship; healthy peer relationships; and tools for managing stress and anxiety.

Parents' Association

Hewitt's Parents' Association (PA) plays a critical role in fostering community. In addition to acting as a resource for all Hewitt families, the PA serves as a communication conduit between parents/guardians, administrators, and faculty. The PA also helps plan and host school-wide events and activities throughout the year, including: 

  • Merchandise and pre-loved uniform sales
  • Day of Service
  • Book club, pick-up basketball, and community choir
  • Faculty and staff appreciation events
  • Skating party
  • Community picnic
  • Grade level social events held on and off campus
