Parent Community
Southwest Christian School relies on the support of our parents.
There are many fulfilling ways to share your talents and get involved with the SCS community. Below are a variety of ways to draw from your own professional and personal expertise in ways that greatly benefit our school.
Volunteer Application
Family Matters
The best predictor of successful outcomes for students is the level at which their parents are involved in their education. With that idea in mind, we’ve created a new offering designed to help equip parents for increased involvement with their children. Introducing Family Matters at Southwest Christian School! Your family matters to us as we partner together on the journey ahead, but we also see that certain matters of the family can be a barrier or hindrance to kids while they are here at school. Our goal is to offer quarterly meet-ups where our local experts present relevant topics to parents to help them navigate the perils of parenting and train our children in the way they should go.
Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)
PTO is a strong and supportive base of parent and grandparent volunteers working together to support Southwest Christian School. PTO puts on a variety of special events, including providing treats for teachers, such as coffee trucks, Fall Family Festival, and the Spring Picnic for the larger SCS community. To learn more or register, email SCSPTO@southwestchristian.org.
Dads' Club
Calling all father figures! Be part of Dads’ Club. This is a great opportunity for dads to be part of SCS in several important ways, from learning more about all aspects of your school, to community building, to service opportunities and more.
Arts Guild
The Arts Guild consists of SCS patrons who volunteer their time and give financially to bring high-quality, show-stopping, artistically-engaging productions, exhibits, and concerts to the SCS Community.
Booster Club
The Booster Club supports the athletic endeavors of SCS student athletes. The Booster Club is vital to the success of all athletic programs. This committed group of parents and community members raise funds and support for athletics and facilities at both Chisholm Trail and Lakeside campuses. To get involved, email boosterclub@southwestchristian.org.
Parents in Prayer
We welcome you to join us for an hour of dedicated prayer each week throughout the school year, as moms, dads, aunts, uncles, grandmothers, and grandfathers come together to uplift Southwest Christian School. Guided by Philippians 4:6, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God," we believe fervently that prayer is the cornerstone of our school's strength and guidance. These gatherings seek to align with God’s vision for SCS and to intercede for the flourishing of His school. For more details on how to join this vital ministry through the Chisholm Trail Parents in Prayer, please contact Dr. Ami Butler or May Coulter. For Lakeside Parents in Prayer, please contact Dr. Ami Butler or Jodi Norman.
Silver Eagles
Silver Eagles is a cherished organization dedicated to grandparents and grandfriends of Southwest Christian School students. This vibrant community serves as a nurturing space for those who play a pivotal role in our students' lives. We invite you to connect with us through our Facebook page (linked) to discover more about local gatherings, opportunities to volunteer, and avenues to support and uplift fellow Christian grandparents. We wholeheartedly believe that God has placed each of you in the lives of our students for a divine purpose. Inspired by Proverbs 17:6, "Children's children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children," we are excited to partner with you to embrace God’s vision for your invaluable role as a grandparent, ensuring a fulfilling and impactful experience.
Moms' Christmas Brunch
Oh what fun! Each December, we invite all our Moms to join us for a special brunch at Mira Vista Country Club. It is a time to connect with one another and enjoy some delicious food with a gift market afterward!
