Parent Involvement

At the Fort Montgomery Elementary School , parents are an integral part of the education of the children. Parents are welcome to serve as classroom and playground helpers. They participate in raising funds for the school, assist the teachers in supervising field trips and contribute their valuable advice at any time. We are always open to suggestions that make our school a better educational institution.

PTF Organization

The PTF (Parents, Teachers, Friends) Organization provides an effective channel of communication between parents and the school for the benefit of the children and the whole community. Its main purposes are:

        -  To create mutual support and understanding between home and school and     thus bring about a total learning environment for children

         -  To provide a means of keeping parents informed about school activities, programs, etc.

         -  To assist the school in providing special activities, events and materials for the students.

Parents are encouraged to attend the PTF Meetings as an active part of their children's education.

Schedule of Meetings 2008 - 2009
