Welcome to South Orange Middle School 2019-2020!
The Home and School Association (HSA) is the SOMS parent volunteer organization intended to promote and facilitate relations between SOMS families and the school; and to raise supplemental funds to support school programs.

Parent/guardian involvement is critical for a successful school year. You can participate in the SOMS HSA by volunteering your time or making a monetary donation. Our No Frills Fundraiser is our primary source of support. If every student donated just $35, we would meet our goal for the entire year! (See back of this page)
The HSA also creates a Directory of student contact information for the use of our student body. This password-protected directory is posted on the HSA website using information provided by the district: student’s name, parent/guardian name, mailing address, email and phone #. If for any reason you believe the district information is not up to date or if you DO NOT want your information published, please contact our VP of Administration, Stacey Merriweather-Fontil at somshsadirectory@gmail.com by September 27th. If you do not have access to email, you may use the form below.
Thanks for your support! We look forward to a great year ahead.
Sincerely,
Verna Jackson & Shayna Sackett-Gable
Co-Presidents SOMS HSA
