Welcome to the AAS Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)
Connecting families. Supporting students. Building community.
The AAS PTO is a diverse, all-volunteer community of parents, teachers, and staff working together to support our children and strengthen community at AAS. The PTO serves all school sections: Elementary School, Middle School, and High School. The PTO's actions and initiatives are aligned with the AAS Mission and Core Values.
Whether you are new to AAS or have been part of the community for years, the PTO is one of the easiest and most rewarding ways to get involved, meet other parents, and feel connected to your child’s school experience.
EVERYONE IS ALREADY A PTO MEMBER
Every parent at AAS is already a member of the Parent-Teacher Organization. It is up to you to choose how to get involved — from volunteering at events and supporting activities behind the scenes, to attending meetings or staying informed. Every level of support is valued.
