The Association of Parents and Teachers

WHO WE ARE

HOW YOU CAN VOLUNTEER

WHAT WE DO
We invite you to explore our many programs and events, including our Shopping Program, the Fall Welcome Back Party, Teacher Appreciation Days (in fall and spring), and our Spring Festival. The APT organizes a Welcome event in September and promotes class-level parent socials and monthly coffees in the weekly APT section of the SSSAS Dispatch. 

HOW WE DO IT 
We couldn't offer all we do without the volunteer support of parents, faculty, and staff, and the financial sponsorship of our families. We ask all families to pay APT dues of $50.  This year, the APT is partnering with the school to collect our dues through the Smart Tuition platform.  More information (including opt out information) will be coming shortly.

The Association of Parents and Teachers took advantage of the unusual circumstances in the pandemic to told several new community wide events, but did not focus on fundraising in 2020-2021 or hold its annual spring party and auction. The APT Board still felt it was a priority to allocate funds to SSSAS in support of our faculty and staff through the Joan Ogilvy Holden Summer Fellowships Fund; a fund the APT established in 2012 that the APT has funded regularly since its inception. This fund provides for faculty professional development: travel to seminars, field experiences, and other enrichment opportunities. In our final meeting of the 2020-2021 school year, the APT Board voted to use a portion of remaining current year funds and a portion from savings to award $20,000 to the Joan Ogilvy Holden Summer Fellowships Fund.
