Community Events

These monthly volunteer days are a big help to our teachers. We will start the year with at-home projects and hope to move to volunteer days in person at Post Oak as the year progresses. Volunteers help our teachers accomplish a variety of easy-to-do projects for their classroom. POPA Volunteer Days begin in September and run throughout the school year, generally on the first Friday of each month. Look for information in Friday's Post newsletter.

This informal and fun parent group reads books related to parenting teens(!), and gets together (virtually in the fall) to discuss and enjoy a glass of wine. This is a “no stress” book club—read the book if you have time, or don’t if you want to hear about it from others—just join in ready to share thoughts and laugh a little.

All faculty and Post Oak parents, including our newest community members whose children will start in the fall, are invited to this adults-only social gathering on May 4 (hopefully, in person). Join us as we raise a glass, thank our many volunteers, honor parents of our graduates, and prepare to wrap up the school year.

Community service is built into the curriculum at Post Oak, and we love to bring families together to experience a variety of activities. We will have one socially distanced service day in the fall, and our annual blanket making activity (socially distanced) in the gym on MLK Jr. Day. Watch the weekly Post newsletter for more information.

How does Post Oak prepare students for college and for life? Join online to hear first-hand experiences from our alumni as they reflect on their time at Post Oak. All parents, both current and prospective, are strongly encouraged to participate in this event at the beginning of January.

New and returning Post Oak parents are invited to gather in the Bissonnet Campus gym for refreshments and coffee. This event is a great opportunity to meet Post Oak administration, room parents, and key volunteers—make new friends and catch up with longtime ones. The Community Coffee takes place in late August.

Join the Dads’ Club for this informal evening social and get to know a great group! Watch your e-mail for details.

Meet, mix, and mingle with other parents as we kick-off another great school year. This adults-only event includes dinner, drinks, great company, and a short presentation. This is not a fundraiser: ticket price covers the cost of the event, and underwriting pays for faculty attendance. POPA Dinner is held in September.

This annual event is a long-standing Post Oak tradition that’s fun for the whole family. Enjoy the company of your fellow Bearkats with a day of great music, giant inflatables, a variety of activities, food trucks, and more! Family Fun Day is a FREE event and will be held in November on the Bissonnet Campus. Event costs are offset by selling raffle tickets for classroom mystery boxes.

Grandparents and special friends are invited to visit the Bissonnet Campus and Museum District Campus in November. This is a perfect opportunity to help family members learn more about a Post Oak education. Invitations will automatically be mailed to current grandparents if their address is on file. For friends, other relatives, or grandparents new to Post Oak, watch The Post weekly newsletter for information on how to request an invitation.

At the Bissonnet Campus

For Young Children’s Community and Primary, grandparents view classroom activities through the observation windows. For Elementary, grandparents go into the classroom for the visit.

At the Museum District Campus

For Middle School and High School students, grandparents are welcome in the common areas at the Museum District Campus to visit with students.

This social event raises funds to cover the cost of the spring Family Movie Night event. Whether or not you play poker, be ready for a great night out!

It’s Friday Family Movie Night sponsored by the Dads’ Club! Bring a picnic, lawn chairs, blankets and the whole family to enjoy a movie on the back field, eat popcorn, and get together with a great group of people!
