What is a Parent Council?

The Parent Council is an organization that operates as a service to the school family: students, parents, faculty, alumni and friends of
The Academy. All AiA Academy parents are members of The Parent Council. It is The Council’s responsibility to facilitate communication between the school and parents, and to provide volunteers to advance the efforts of the administration and the image of the school. The Parent Council offers parents a great opportunity:

• To know what’s going on at your child’s school and to get more involved in his or her school life.

• To share your skills and experience in volunteer activities which benefit our children.

• To meet, socialize with, and build lasting friendships with other AiA Academy parents.

Family Volunteer Hours

We feel that parental involvement is vital to an effective education. We encourage our parents and families to volunteer as much as possible. Atlantic Inclusive Academy requires each AiA family to complete 20 Volunteer Hours to the Academy each year, or donate $5.00 per hour, if that is more convenient. We recommend that you schedule 2 hours a month for the 10 months of school. We are flexible about the schedule. We do ask that you check with the Administrator to schedule a convenient time. We need volunteers who are willing to do the following:

Tutoring, Mentoring
Share a Talent
Provide Special Treats
Chaperone Field Trips
Organize a Community Service Project
Help with Fundraisers
Help with a School Clean-Up Work Day
Repair items, Paint, Etc.

Student Community Service

Atlantic Inclusive Academy students are required to complete 20 Community Service Hours each school year. We strive to do at least one community service project each semester. Community service hours are also a requirement for receiving many college scholarships.
