About Parkside Montessori PTA

At Parkside Montessori, Tiger Pride is at the heart of everything we do. Our close-knit community of families, educators, and staff is dedicated to creating the best environment for our children to learn, grow, and thrive.

 

Our high level of parent involvement is the "secret sauce" that makes Parkside special. Families are encouraged to volunteer 30 hours per school year, aligning interests and talents with various projects that support the school’s needs.

 

The Parkside Montessori Parent Teachers Association (PTA) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit made up of parent volunteers and staff who work together to support the mission, vision, and goals of our school. Since 1954, the PTA has played a vital role in building strong connections, enriching academic experiences, and advocating for the well-being of all students.

 

 

 

Our Mission

We exist to engage and empower all families in our community – for today and tomorrow – to support the mission, vision, and goals of Parkside Montessori School. We are committed to providing each of our children a strong academic foundation, helping them become motivated learners, problem solvers, and global citizens through a Montessori whole-child approach.
