[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard that they are thinking the Thursday of that week. So, the 20th.

But this is through the grapevine.

You mean the HSA? [/quote]

It is not odd for a school’s parent association to know a rough or draft schedule. They are responsible for several beginning of the school year activities.

I have no connection to St. Mary’s. Why are you so bothered by the idea of a parent association? [/quote]

You aren’t associated with BSSM but [b]knew a reference to HSA was a parent association[/b]?

Sharing information before the school communicates builds distrust, don’t you think?[/quote]

Doesn’t everyone?[/quote]
NP, not at St Mary’s or any Catholic. No. What does it stand for? Don’t most parent associations have a P in the acronym? PTA, PTO? Wth is the HSA other than my medical reimbursement account?[/quote]

A sampling of schools with an HSA:

Jane de Chantal (Bethesda)
Holy Redeemer (Kensington)
Blessed Sacrament (DC)

and…

BSSM (Alexandria)[/quote]
Thanks, to you and pp who spelled it out for me. I guess it’s a common term for Catholic schools in particular. All the (non-Catholic) schools I’ve been involved with use some form of parent/teacher association and I’d never heard of HSA except as a health savings account, which I knew wasn’t relevant. 😂[/quote]

Plenty of non-Catholic schools use HSA, rather than PTA. It’s a matter of organization and fund-raising. [/quote]
