Aldea Parent Group
Parents are essential partners with Aldea Montessori in the education of the children. Our parent organization, Aldea Parent Group (APG) , mobilizes and coordinates volunteers for many events throughout the year.
APG was started in 2004 by a group of parents as a support system to the staff, teachers and students of Aldea. APG is a vehicle through which parents have the opportunity to become an active part of the school community. Our children benefit through seeing their parents “caring through action” about the total school environment. The staff benefits from the extra support, both concrete and in spirit, given by parents. Parents have the opportunity to become involved and make a difference in their child’s educational experience at Aldea.
Many avenues are available through which parents can become actively involved in either short-term or long-term roles.
Mission
The mission of the Aldea Parent Group
is to serve the students, teachers and parents of the school by developing and implementing activities that build community and enrich the learning environment.
