Enriching Education Through Parent Support

Our Mission & Approach

At Alberta Rider Elementary School Parent Support Organization, we are dedicated to enhancing the educational experience for our students. We believe in fostering a supportive community that empowers both students and teachers to thrive.

What does the PSO do?

If you haven't been able to attend a PSO meeting, you may not know all ways the PSO supports ARE. By having a student at Alberta Rider, you are a member of the PSO. This year, our PSO has delivered the following:

 

  • Every grade and every student received paid assistants for small, individualized reading groups

  • Every grade and every student received a curriculum based field trip with paid transportation

  • All classrooms received a budget for classroom materials

  • 4 free community events throughout the year: Trunk-or-treat, Movie Night, Gingerbread decorating, Game Night

  • 5th grade fun day and graduation celebration

  • 5th grade Biz Town field trip & curriculum 

  • Two book fairs with books for every child & funds going back to our library

  • Teacher and staff appreciation in May and throughout the year

 

Our 3 major fundraisers were huge successes to be able to fund all these great events.
