Welcome to
Geiger Montessori PTSA!
Thank you for your interest!
Now, more than ever, it is important to partner with your child, teachers, and the school, to help your child learn and grow. PTSA (Parent Teacher Student Association) members provide support not just through fundraising, but also through teacher support, fun enrichment activities that rely on volunteers, tutoring, and special events.
We hope you can explore our website to find answers to your questions but if we're missing something, please contact board@geigerptsa.org and we would love to connect with you.
We know families’ lives are busy, so there is no obligation to volunteer or attend meetings. If you are interested in becoming a PTSA member, please follow this link. Please note, the cost to become a PTSA member is $10. Financial assistance is available - if you are interested, please contact president@geigerptsa.org.
