The education of a child is a cooperative venture between the home and the school.   Good communication among parents, teachers and administration is facilitated through an active Home School Association which enthusiastically supports endeavors by means of various activities throughout the school year. 

Through various fund-raising activities, the HSA provides extra amenities to St. Barnabas students and faculty such as: field trips to theater productions and other venues, school equipment and instructional materials, Christmas gifts, memorial gifts, and the annual Appreciation Luncheon for teachers. The HSA also sponsors a number of social gatherings throughout the year, such as family skating parties and "Parents’ Nights Out".

A strong parental presence is felt throughout St. Barnabas School as many parents assist in the lunchroom and in classrooms, along with serving as volunteer coaches for our sports teams.

H.S.A. Meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 P.M. in the School cafeteria.  All parents are encouraged to attend these informative sessions.  (As an added incentive to attend the meetings, students whose parents attend a meeting are allowed to come to School "out of uniform" the next day.)
