PARENT SCHOOL ALLIANCE

The Parent School Alliance (PSA) is our “Parent-Teacher Association”. The PSA offers its support to the efforts of the teachers and administrators so that the students may receive the utmost benefit from their education. The PSA accomplishes this goal in three ways, by:

• promoting an understanding of Maria Montessori’s ideas;
• providing a forum for parents to communicate the needs of their children and families to the administration; and to offer solutions in a spirit of cooperation; and
• providing ideas and organizing the raising of funds for the school.

Each class has parent-teacher classroom representatives. The parent-teacher representatives help teachers arrange for classroom speakers, programs, field trips and transportation to field trips. They also help teachers fill special needs such as gathering materials for projects and contacting parents regarding special programs. They provide a medium through which information can pass, from parent to administration/teacher or from administration/teacher to parent.

All parents of children at the school are automatically members of PSA and are encouraged to participate in PSA meetings and events. Meetings are held monthly, usually on the first Tuesday evening from 7 pm to 8 pm. If you have an item you would like discussed at the meeting please contact the PSA CoPresidents to have the item placed on the agenda.
