Who Makes Up the Parents' Association?

All West Side Montessori parents are members of the Parents' Association. The Parents' Association meets monthly to discuss programs and activities to enhance educational opportunities for the children. Active membership in the Parents' Association through volunteerism, meeting attendance and/or joining the Parents' Association Coordinating Committee is an excellent way to become acquainted with other parents, staff, and the school.

Parents' Association Coordinating Committee (PACC)

The Parents' Association Coordinating Committee (PACC) is the operational core of the Parents' Association. The PACC and its committees focus on near term planning and work with the West Side Montessori Board of Trustees on long term initiatives through reciprocal communication of plans and programs.

PACC Mission

To bring parents and families together to support and enhance educational opportunities for our children by embracing the mission of West Side Montessori.

PACC Meetings - All Parents Welcome!

The Parents' Association meetings, which are held at the Bancroft Campus at 7:00 pm unless otherwise noted, are open to all interested parties. Please feel free to attend any monthly meeting. The informal gathering is a great place to meet other parents and stay abreast of parent-related activities in the West Side community. Babysitting is available with a reservation. We look forward to seeing you there.
