Welcome to Prescott Magnet Cluster School

Prescott Parents is an active community of parents, family members and friends of Prescott students.  Established in 2008 as an external marketing and fundraising resource for Prescott School, Prescott Parents is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that serves as a fundraising body and operational resource for the school. We work with Principal Erin Roche, Assistant Principal Melisa Rutkelis, faculty members, Alderman Waguespack, local universities and other community members to direct and support a variety of programs that enrich our students’ experience at Prescott School.

Prescott Parents Mission Statement:

Prescott Parents is organized exclusively for educational and charitable purposes within the meaning of United States Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). The mission of Prescott Parents is to raise funds to bridge the financial gaps to cultivate a thriving, well rounded school community. Through shared responsibility we empower students, families and staff to create an enriching environment where opportunities are accessible to all.

Its objectives are to promote the education of the students of William H Prescott Elementary School (“Prescott”) and to foster a spirit of cooperation, collaboration and community between parents, faculty, administration and staff; students, and the surrounding community.

Who We Are:

Prescott Parents works to create a socially relevant community of supporters for Prescott Elementary School that embraces our journey, believes in public education and promotes academic excellence.

Prescott Parents, through its team of committed volunteers, works to enhance the school facilities, underwrite academic and extracurricular programs, assist teachers in their classrooms, host the annual Prescott fundraiser, build the Prescott community, and coordinate communications to keep the greater Prescott community connected.

From time to time you’ll hear us call ourselves the Wolfpack, to pay homage to the new school mascot the Prescott Wolves and to represent our loyalty to one another and the school. In 2022-23 school year, Prescott Parents introduced – the Prescott Movie Night, a community building event where families were treated to an outdoor movie on the Prescott turf. We are a powerful parent network – and will continue to bring many other activities to the Prescott Community, like:

We have over 25 Wolfpack Committee Pack Leaders planning for the school year and we invite you to get involved.  With more activities than ever on the horizon, we are counting on your support to strengthen our Prescott community.  We ask that each family commit three hours a year (or more!) to support Prescott.

Keeping you connected
