Parent Resources
Parental involvement is a combination of commitment and active participation on the part of parent to the school and to the student. As parents you can ensure that your child receives the benefits from parental involvement by staying up to date on what is happening in the classroom.
Tulsa Public Schools is committed to helping your child develop the academic knowledge and critical thinking he or she needs to succeed in school and beyond. As a result, these involvement opportunities empower parents to take action. By connecting parents to school officials, community members, other parents, knowledge, and powerful allies, these opportunities build bridges and networks that support schools and sustain whole communities.
Parent Teacher Association
Mission
- To support and speak on behalf of children and youth in the schools, in the community, and before governmental bodies and other organizations that make decisions affecting children.

Zarrow Foundation
The primary mission of the Zarrow Foundation is to maintain appropriate staffing levels in all grades, allowing our immersion program to thrive. This puts Zarrow International School at two per classroom: teacher and teacher assistant.
The Foundation provides support by fundraising for assistant teacher salaries and need-based scholarships for fifth-graders at Zarrow who want to participate in the exchange programs to Spain and Costa Rica.
