One of our awesome MIMS parents took some time to put together a list of useful resources that might be especially helpful for new parents. Send email to [email protected] if you see something out of date or have ideas of other items to add to this list.
Communication
- We suggest all families sign up to be part of the MIMS Family Directory (voluntary; hope to have it out by October). This lets families communicate and connect with each other.
- Official information from the PTO will be posted to this site regularly. We are in process with adding a tool called Living Tree, as well. Admin will communicate via Mr. Ying’s emails.
- PTO will host monthly meetings. Dates will be on the Calendar.
- Meetings of PTO board and general meeting will be posted as quickly as possible (usually 3-7 days after meetings). If you have agenda items OR can’t attend but need to ask questions, please email [email protected] or [email protected] in advance.
Social Media
- There is an unofficial Facebook group for MIMS parents.
- Each grade may have its own FB group, such as MIMS 2032, MIMs 2029, and so on. Search the name and request to join.
- The school has Facebook and Twitter as well. (Older Fb page here and older Tw)
