Why should I register?

Signing up/Registering with Membership Toolkit is FREE!

Membership Toolkit is the service that allows us to share details about upcoming events, resources and coordinate our volunteer efforts- all online. Our goal is to provide better communication for middle school families, develop our community and also save time with a reliable centralized location for information.

• Donate or sign up to Volunteer
• View a calendar with district and MMS events
• Find helpful links for community resources

Once the Primary Account is set up, the Primary User can "invite" other email addresses to access his/her account. This allows the Secondary User to have their own login information, but still have access to the family account.

Please note: if you would like to register more than 2 Parent/Caregiver contacts for your Student, you can create an additional account and "claim" your Student twice.
