The Navigators are a coalition of parent-led organizations dedicated to enhancing the educational experience at Adum K-8 School for International Studies. Navigators empower parents to actively participate in their children's education, foster a strong sense of community, promote transparency and communication, and advocate for programs through collaboration among groups that care about the success of the students. 

The Navigators are comprised of the PTSA, the Foundation, the Moms Club, and the Dads Club. Collectively, they send a regular newsletter to those who sign up via Membership Toolkit.

In the spirit of living and modeling the IB principles, the Navigators share a common goal to support the school community and lead with:

Open Communication: Encourage regular meetings or discussions where representatives from each organization can come together to share their plans, schedules, and priorities. 

Respect Individual Missions: Acknowledge that while collaboration is important, it's equally crucial to respect the individual missions and priorities of each group.

Identify Areas of Alignment: Look for areas where the missions of the different groups intersect or overlap.

Flexibility and Compromise: Encourage flexibility and a willingness to compromise when necessary.

Maximize Impact: The groups can maximize attendance, minimize competition for resources and volunteers, and ensure that their efforts have the greatest possible impact on the community.

Evaluate and Adjust: Be willing to adjust strategies and approaches as needed to better meet the needs of all involved parties.

Difference between the PTSA and the Foundation

While both the PTSA and Foundation aim to support Adum K-8, the PTSA focuses more on parent involvement, programming, advocacy, and supporting educational activities, while the Foundation primarily focuses on fundraising and providing financial support beyond the school's regular budget as determined necessary by the principal. The two organizations may overlap, and they collaborate on certain projects or initiatives to benefit the school community.

Moms Club & Dads Club are both social and volunteering clubs.
