The Amana Academy Parent Teacher Organization (AAPTO) connects families, teachers, and the community to enrich every student’s experience.

Our Purpose:

  • Advocacy – champion the welfare of children at home, in school, and in the community.

  • Relationships – build strong family–teacher partnerships.

  • Enrichment – fund programs and experiences beyond the school budget.

  • Involvement – bring parents, educators, and community together for student success.

These objectives come to life through educational partnerships among parents, teachers, and the wider community. We organize meaningful programs, encourage parent engagement, and support initiatives that directly benefit students and staff.

What We Do

From the Welcome Back Picnic and Men of Amana to supporting Crew Parents and providing field study scholarships, the PTO creates opportunities that build community and enhance learning.

Why Join?

  • Build community – connect with other families and teachers in meaningful ways.

  • Create memories – help shape experiences students will never forget.

  • Make an impact – your time and talents directly enrich our children’s education.

  • Be part of something bigger – join a team that supports every child at Amana.

Whether you give your time, talent, or treasure, every contribution helps our students thrive.
