September 2018 

Dear CMS Families,

Welcome to the 2018/19 school year at Commack Middle School. Our names are Lisa Monte and Tara Darvassy and we will be your CMS PTA Co-Presidents this school year.  We encourage you to become a PTA member.  Membership gives you a voice and a vote in our PTA and your membership dues help fund the programs we sponsor for the students at CMS. We had the pleasure of seeing some of you at the CMS orientation on August 29th.    We would also like to invite you to attend the Open Houses this September.  It is a great opportunity to meet the teachers and become familiar with your child’s schedule. We encourage you stop by our PTA membership table and shop our new spirit wear items in the cafeteria during your visit.

Please join us and bring all of your questions to our first PTA meeting on 9/12 at 9:30am. Below is a list of the upcoming PTA meeting dates and times. These meetings are a great source of information and provide you the opportunity to interact with administration and the teaching staff. CMS is a large school with tons of things going on and these meetings can help you stay informed of what's happening in the educational and social lives of your child. We also encourage you to sign up for one or more of our PTA Committees.  You can find the committee sign up sheet, membership form and spirit wear order form on Backpack News.

4/9     PTA Meeting 9:30 am
5/8     PTA Meeting 9:30am
5/16  Budget Presentation @ CHS 8:00pm

We look forward to seeing you at PTA events during the year. If you have any questions or concerns please let us know.  You can email us at commackmiddleschoolpta@gmail.com any time. We will answer what we can or direct you to those who have the answers.  You and your child have a great support system here……the administration, the guidance counselors and the teachers are always available and want to help your children have a successful and positive experience in Commack Middle School. We wish you and your family a happy and successful school year!

Thank You,
