About the North Cross School Parents' Association
The North Cross School Parents’ Association (PA) serves to identify and organize parent-volunteer opportunities, to act as goodwill ambassadors, to provide additional educational opportunities and activities, to serve as an advisory group, and to bring into closer relation the home and the school for the students, faculty, administration, and the parents of North Cross. Through this mission, the PA strives to build a stronger community for all. Becoming involved with the PA is a valuable opportunity to meet other parents, learn about what is happening in all divisions of the school, and give back to the North Cross community. If you are interested in learning more about us or getting involved, please email PA President Tonya Pickeral.

The PA Post
Wait Until 8th Pledge
The PA supports the Wait Until 8th pledge! For those not familiar with it, the Wait Until 8th pledge empowers parents to rally together to delay giving children a smartphone until at least the end of 8th grade. Let’s protect the elementary and middle school years from the distractions and the dangers of a smartphone. Banding together helps decrease the pressure to have a phone at an early age. More than 99,000 parents have said yes to waiting on the smartphone for their families. This is making a tremendous difference in communities across the country! To learn more, click here.
