Parents
Hi, I am Coanne Graham, member of a great Lion's Den Team of parent volunteers that provide support to students, staff and school. My challenge to you, every parent, is to stay involved in your students life throughout their middle school experience, one they will not forget. Our greatest wish, as a school, is that your student is successful and well balanced. Please join our team, or at a minimun volunteer for just 2 hours a year....it will be the best spent time, I promise you. There are many opportunities.
This is my 7th year in middle school with one to go, and the ride has been the best! Please do not hesitate to call me or email me with any questions at all. Together we will and are making great things happen at Mountainside and for your student!!!
Mountainside Middle School needs you!
Parents,
when your kids move up to middle school, they may act like they don't
need you around anymore... but this is not the time to step back!
Middle school kids need you to stay involved - and a very easy way to
do that is to volunteer! Our school uses the PTOManager program, which
is a website that helps us organize and communicate with our parents.
Join
PTOManager today, to stay in the loop on all that happens at
Mountainside. If you can donate just TWO short hours, at some point
during the school year, you can pledge your help online. Sign up
online at
http://www.mountainside.ptomanager.com/ and THANKS!
If you have any questions regarding PTO please feel free to contact our wonderful PTO officers:

And the PTO Lion's Den Team
- At Mountainside Middle School, we’re starting a new program called 2 Hour Power, emphasizing that any help, even two hours during the school year, makes a huge difference for schools. The research is clear – kids at schools with a broad base of involved parents perform markedly better on all kinds of key school measures.
If you can give just two hours, then – Really! We promise! - there’s no further obligation – no PTO membership, no committees – you will just be helping out for those two short hours – a small, but very important contribution. If you’d like to do more – great, but we know that’s not a fit for everyone.
Will you please take the 2 Hour Involvement Pledge? Click here to sign up!
