APA - Our Booster Club

By participating in AST’s APA, you will have an opportunity to better your child’s life at school and play a role in their educational experience. You will be able to build relationships with other parents, foster community, and build bridges between the multiple cultures represented at AST. 

AST’s APA performs tasks including but not limited to: 

1. Build community and organize fun events (Book Week, International Fairs, Career Fairs, Science Fairs, Sports Days, Bake Sales, etc.), 

2. Create orientation programs for new AST families, 

3. Volunteer (chaperones for field trips, in-class assistants, extracurricular program assistants, event volunteers), 

4. Sponsor teacher appreciation efforts, 

5. Fundraise for special projects or needs that benefit all of AST’s kids, 

6. Serve as ambassadors for AST, 

7. Have fun! 

AST’s APA is not involved with operating AST. Our APA does not get involved in academics/curriculum, administration, hiring, teacher and staff evaluations, discipline policy, or financial/budget allocation decisions. 

You may spend as much or as little time and energy in AST’s APA as you like. We realize that everyone has different schedules and only some will be able to take on leadership roles. However, even volunteering just a couple hours at a school event or fundraising project will greatly benefit AST and its community of parents, teachers, and students. 

All AST parents are welcome, encouraged, and invited to participate. 

No, AST’s APA is a part of the school and works directly with the Head of School and its teachers. 

When our kids have more opportunities and a greater sense of community because of the collaboration between parents and teachers at AST.
