It's the parent participation and volunteers that really make our events such a success. Please sign up for our volunteer pool and be sure to bookmark this page to keep updated on future volunteer opportunities.

A list of annual and monthly events have been posted to our Events Calendar page. The next volunteer opportunity will be at the Lantern Festival on Saturday, November 4^th. Stay tuned for more information or attend our next PTA Meeting to find out more!

Welcome – Wilkommen – Bienvenidos

Dear AEA Families,

Welcome to Albert Einstein Academies and the 2017-2018 school year! We would like to take a moment to introduce those of you, for whom the school is new, to Friends of Albert Einstein Academies (FoAEA or “Friends”). Friends, our schools’ parent–teacher association (PTA), has served as the fundraising arm for both the AEA Charter Elementary School (AEACES) and AEA Charter Middle School (AEACMS) since 2007. Friends is a non-profit organization that raises money to provide financial support for enrichment programs such as art, PE, music, science, gardening, nutrition, field trips and special assemblies. Unfortunately, due to budget cuts, it is up to parents like us to support and subsidize these critical enrichment programs beyond the minimal government funding.
Welcome Back BBQ - Thursday, Aug 24th

The new school year is just around the corner! Both AEA elementary and middle schools are invited to join the Friends of AEA Parent-Teacher Association for its annual Welcome Back BBQ on Thursday, August 24^th, from 5-7pm! Come enjoy complimentary meat and veggie sausages. Bring a salad or dessert to share. There will be used elementary uniforms for sale during the event.
