    Treasure Village Montessori Parent Responsibilities

    Excellence in education requires an extraordinary commitment on the part of the family, school and community. At Treasure Village Montessori Charter School we believe that families are ultimately responsible for their child's growth and development aided by a sound educational system. Parent involvement provides support to the inspiration that fires a love of learning.

    TVM Committees of the Board of Directors

    There are five committees of the Board of Directors designed to oversee Treasure Village Montessori Charter School's policies and procedures. Committees have been created to enhance the development and forward steps of the school. It is valuable for these committees to have volunteers from the parent body. Parents make up the vital core of our committees and fundamental the success of each. We encourage and invite members of the parent body to become involved by volunteering on committees.
