What is the Buddy Family Program? The Buddy Family Program, organized by Noddin HSC, is an effort to build community and help welcome new families to Noddin. It matches existing school families with new families to ensure a smooth transition to Noddin. Covid has made it difficult for families to connect, so existing Noddin families looking for a Buddy Family are also welcome to participate.

Sign up! If you are interested in volunteering as a Buddy Family - or are a family interested in signing up - don't be shy! Simply complete this form so we can connect you. 

Who can be a Buddy Family? A Buddy Family is any Noddin family enrolled in the 2023-2024 school year and willing to be a resource for questions that a new, incoming family (TK -Grade 5) may have throughout the school year.

How does the Buddy Family Program work? Participating Noddin families will be paired with another family (or more!!) that best matches their child/ren’s grade and/or gender. We ask that Buddy Families reach out to their new families within 2 weeks of being matched and meet in person at least once, either at a HSC sponsored event or on their own. After that, it's up to you!  

What is special about the Buddy Family Program? As a Buddy Family, you will help a new family become accustomed to Noddin and provide friendly advice on what to expect in the school and wider community. And as a new family, you will get the benefit of an established Noddin family's insider knowledge, helping to make your transition a little bit easier.
