Northwood's PTA’s Directory is paperless!
Northwood PTA is pleased to announce the entire directory process will be paperless from data collection to making the directory available both on your computer as well as your smart phone. You can sign up or refresh your data NOW! Enter your child’s information today: Please go to https://northwoodpta.membershiptoolkit.com/ Once you enter your email address, you will be sent a link to access our secure site. Please also create (or update) your contact information. *Download the Membership Toolkit app on your smartphone and enjoy access to our directory, store, calendar, volunteer signups and more right in your hands. Have a student in middle school or high school? We are so pleased to follow the lead of Haynes Bridge Middle School and Centennial High School to offer this service. When your 5th grader graduates, your family information will be sent to Haynes Bridge automatically. Why are we doing this? - Saves time – this system will help us publish the directory early in the school year AND we can keep it up to date throughout the school year. - Saves money – no more printing costs (they keep going up!) - Reduces errors - can correct your information at anytime. - Also, through this system you will be able to signup for PTA sponsored events, etc. - Access to school calendar How does it work? Our new system will involve 2 steps: (1) collecting your information and then (2) giving you secure access to the online system. How do you access the new online directory? Once you have joined the PTA and we have received and reviewed your family’s information, you will receive an email with login instructions. What’s so great about the online directory? It’s secure – your family will have a unique login and password and the directory can’t be lost or stolen. You can search by student’s first name, grade, teacher and family last name. You can create your own custom list of recently called families. You can access the family directory from any internet connected device: your computer, smartphone, iPad, etc. Is it secure? YES! All data is stored behind secure firewalls and can only be accessed by authorized users with a validated username and encrypted password. All data is viewed and passed using SSL encryption.
