WELCOME TO THE HOME OF THE PARKSIDE PTA
At Parkside Montessori, our community of families, educators, and staff create an environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. A key part of what makes Parkside special is our strong culture of parent involvement, wherein families contribute 30 volunteer hours per school year and share their time and talents to support school initiatives. Central to this effort is the Parkside Montessori PTA, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit made up of dedicated parent volunteers and staff who work together advocate for the well-being of all students. Learn more about the PTA and join today. |
