School Communications

South Orangetown Middle School communicates with families through a variety of methods. Here are the main tools we use:

ParentSquare

Automated mass messaging service that sends email, text and robocalls
Used to remind families of upcoming events or share important information, mostly by email only
Student families are automatically subscribed and may login to customize their accounts
Current SOMS families who are not receiving ParentSquare notifications or who need to update phone numbers/email addresses should contact the school’s main office at (845) 680-1100
School ParentSquare notifications are for parents of current students and staff only
Communications regarding weather-related closings, delays and early dismissals are handled by the school district (information here)

Used to share information about school news, enrichment and support opportunities and club meeting information
Daily Announcements are automatically emailed to all students and staff and to parents/guardians who subscribe to the SOMS Announcements Group in ParentSquare

Follow SOMS on Instagram (@soms_strong) for a glimpse of the exciting work that’s happening in our classrooms

To keep track of key dates (and what day it is in the rotation cycle), stay tuned to our Google Calendar
Information on how to subscribe to updates and sync with mobile devices can be found on the Calendar page
