Parents Association

List of 3 frequently asked questions.

• Q. WHAT ARE THE MAIN INITIATIVES OF THE PA?

  • Welcoming new families into the AMS community.
  • Creating social opportunities for parents and families to get to know each other and enjoy shared interests.
  • Providing support and appreciation to our guides, staff and parents. 

• Q. HOW DO I GET INVOLVED?

  As a parent with a child at AMS you are automatically a member of the PA. We do not collect dues nor do we require any additional information from you. At times throughout the year, you may receive solicitation from the PA Board in the form of a survey, a request for your time or expertise, etc. It is always completely optional how involved you become. We understand that your role as parent comes first! Your involvement in the AMSPA should support you in this role, serving to strengthen your family and your self. If you are interested in becoming more involved you are welcome to email us directly at pa@austinmontessori.org.

• Q. WHAT IS A ROOM PARENT?

  Each classroom community at AMS has a classroom parent who serves in the role of room parent. The room parent is a representative of the AMSPA and is responsible for the coordination of volunteers from that classroom for three main events: outdoor environment day, Gala project, and fall festival activity. The room parent also engages with parents to build community by organizing social events.
