- Timely notices of board meetings and other school committee meetings that involve parents.
- Meetings held/interpreted in Spanish and English.
- Opportunities to share thoughts and opinions through email and ParentSquare, the interactive parent communication platform used by the school.
- Short summaries of issues, ideas, and decisions of school committees.
- At least two opportunities for parents to give detailed input on the Local Control Accountability Plan.
Parents are welcome and encouraged to volunteer at our school, however, parental involvement is not a requirement for acceptance to, or continued enrollment at, the charter school.
(New) Student Video: After reading the novel, “Esperanza Rising” by Pam Muñoz Ryan, a class of 5th-grade Aspire AMLA scholars became more appreciative of the hard work farmworkers do every day to ensure we have food on our tables. They decided to put together a short video thanking them for all the work they do. Watch the full video here!
