PTA Budget & Finances
Welcome to the 2025–26 School Year!
Whether you’re new to Parkside Montessori or a returning family, we’re so glad you’re here. The Parkside Montessori PTA is dedicated to supporting our students, teachers, and school community, and we invite you to get involved! Explore below to learn more about what we do and how you can help make this an incredible year for everyone.
Why the Parkside Montessori PTA Exists
The Parkside Montessori PTA is a vital partnership between parents and educators working together to enhance student learning and enrich the lives of all children at our school.
Our mission is to engage and empower every family to support the values, vision, and goals of Parkside Montessori. We’re committed to giving each child a strong academic foundation through a whole-child Montessori approach — helping them grow into confident learners, thoughtful problem-solvers, and compassionate global citizens.
Unfortunately, public funding alone isn’t enough to deliver the high-quality education our students deserve. That’s where the PTA and your support makes all the difference.
Our 2025–26 Fundraising Goal
To sustain essential programs, staffing, and enrichment opportunities, the Parkside Montessori PTA has set a fundraising goal of $240,000 for the 2025–26 school year.
These funds support both our current year’s operations and our Gifts-to-School Fund, ensuring that we continue to invest in our school’s future.
