Parent Cooperative

Montview parents are essential as contributing members of our school community. Parents enrich our school with their ideas, interests, talents, and resources. One of the most valuable roles that parents fulfill is that of "helping parent" in their child's classroom, which happens approximately every four to six weeks. Our experience shows us that:

Parents helping in the classroom provide practical assistance to the teacher thereby increasing the effectiveness of the teacher.
Parents gain valuable insights from being with their child and their child's peers in the school setting.

Parent participation is required in various areas including an orientation meeting, field trips, classroom set-up, and classroom clean-up days. In addition, all parents have a committee assignment and are expected to participate in the school's two major fundraisers. Finally, the parent board oversees administration and fundraising.
