Tentative for 2020-21 School Year
The MMS Home & School Association charter is:
  • To promote the education, safety, and welfare of the students of our school and community 
  • To bring in to closer relation the home and school so that parents/guardians and teachers may cooperate in the education of students and provide a means for communication to further this purpose.

Volunteering

If you've got an hour or two to spare, we sure could use your help!
Whether you like to actively interact with students and staff (selling tickets at lunch, working in the library, or chaperoning dances) or work "behind the scenes"  (helping coordinate the show or working with a committee to organize an event), your time and talents are both needed and greatly appreciated.  If there's something that interests you and fits into your schedule, please reach out.

Emails & Communication
Parents, guardians and staff are welcome to sign up for HSA emails.     Need more than one person in a family or household to receive them?  No problem! Sign up with each email address separately. 

You will be asked for basic information - name, email, and student name. 

Signed up with the link but not receiving emails?  Check that mmshsainfo@gmail.com can reach you (add us to your contacts) and be sure to click through the "confirmation email" from Mail Chimp to confirm subscription to the email list.

The school district sends email and phone communication through a service called School Messenger.  If you are NOT receiving emails and phone messages regarding school closings, school announcements on curriculum and summer programs, emergency information, etc. please contact the Main Office at 973-378-7660 to update your records.

Fundraising

The MMS HSA raises funds through a No Frills fundraiser, Trivia Night, and other grade specific events during the school year. Without the support of families, we would not be able to provide the supplemental support to the students and staff.  (click to link)
