Why Join
the PTSA?

 The Robert Goddard Montessori School Parent-Teacher-Student Association (PTSA) will help you stay connected with what’s happening in our school. The PTSA gives parents and teachers a powerful voice to speak on behalf of every child while providing the best tools for parents to help their children be successful students. As a PTSA member, you can meet other parents, teachers, and community members to discuss and share ideas, concerns, and experiences about our school. It offers the chance to speak up and effect positive change. Additionally, by donating your time and talent, your children will know how important their education is to you. The strength of our PTSA comes from the hard work and dedication of volunteers like you! Please consider joining one of our committees. Just a little of your time can go a long way to support our school!
