Our Mission

 

The Great Neck South Middle School Parent Teacher Association facilitates the Home-School connection and strives to enrich the students and the school. We help integrate families into the Middle School environment.

Presidents' Welcome

September 2025

Dear SMS Families,

 

Welcome back to our returning families, teachers, and staff! 

 

To our incoming 6th graders and new families:  Welcome to the SMS Community!  We hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful summer, recharged, and is ready for the new school year.

 

At SMS, our PTA focuses on creating and developing a strong school community and support system by guiding new families, providing parents with volunteer opportunities throughout the school, and offering other exciting events/programs.  We look forward to strengthening the tremendous partnerships we have established with the Board of Education, Administration, our amazing teachers, and our invaluable staff to provide an unparalleled learning experience for our children. 

 

Of course, we cannot do this alone, so please join and support our PTA. While the school budget pays for academics, PTA dues help support all of the additional programming and elements that enhance the SMS experience, such as the annual Author Visit, Cultural Heritage Night, Relay for Life activities, etc.

While becoming a member of the PTA primarily benefits our children, you’ll also assist in making positive changes by exchanging ideas and meaningfully engaging with our diverse group of parents and teachers.  Your participation in our Association meetings offers even more opportunities to voice your opinions and share your concerns.  

 

Please note these upcoming important dates to mark on your calendar:

  • September 11:  SMS Open House

  • September 18  & 19:  Photo Days

  • September 25:  Parents who are new to the Great Neck District - Virtual Meeting

  • October 9:  PTA General Meeting

 

Please also note these important links to stay connected:

  • PTA Dues can be paid via PayPal - just once a year, once per family

  • Join our official WhatsApp group

  • South middle PTA website

  • If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to email us 

 

Thank you, again, to our SMS families for your dedicated support.  We look forward to another wonderful and productive year for our students.

 

Warmest regards,

Karen Yan, Mancy Cheung
