At the final PA meeting in May, the slate for the 2025–2026 PA Leadership and class parents was approved. We want to thank Kim Leonard for her service and partnership over the past two years as PA President and the entire PA leadership team for their dedication. We are thrilled to introduce the new PA President, Dana Plunkett, and team.

Hello to the Portledge School community!

I am truly happy and excited to serve as your Parents Association President for a second year. It has been a privilege to work alongside such a dedicated and caring group of families, teachers, and staff.

As we begin this new year together, I look forward to building on the strong sense of community that makes our school so special. By continuing to support one another, encouraging involvement, and creating opportunities for connection, I am confident that we can make this an outstanding year for all of our children.

As always, I welcome your ideas, energy, and participation as we work together to enrich our Portledge experience. It is my pleasure to serve as a resource for you and your families. Thank you for your continued support and commitment to our community. 

Together, let’s make this a fantastic year!
 
Warm Regards, 

Dana Plunkett
