Q: How do I get access to the Student Directory?
A: You must verify your contact information and pay your PTO Membership Dues in Membership Toolkit A to Z Connect. For more information, please view the short tutorial: : I verified my contact information. Why don't I have access?
A: You also need to pay your PTO Membership Dues for the 2021-2022 school year. Q: I paid my membership dues via the PayPal link on your website, and I verified my contact information on Membership Toolkit A to Z. Why don't I have access? A: We need to manually connect your payment with your A to Z account. Please give us 48 hours from the time when both items were complete. If you still do not have access, please email us at mpspto@yahoo.com. Q: I verified my contact information and paid my membership dues all on Membership Toolkit A to Z Connect. Why don't I have access to the directory? A: It is likely because you used a different email address than the one we have on file. Please email us at mpspto@yahoo.com. Please include your full name, child's name, and the email address you used to create the account. Q: I am on AtoZConnect for the first time, but I cannot login or access my account. Why? A: Make sure you are on https://mpspto.membershiptoolkit.com/home. The old AtoZConnect.com webpage is no longer active. The first time you access https://mpspto.membershiptoolkit.com/home, you must CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT. If you try to log in with your old credentials for last year's A to Z, it will not work. Please use the email we sent your verification letter to, and create a new account. Q: When will I receive a hardcopy directory? A: Members will receive their hardcopy student directory in mid-October. It will come home through your child's backpack. Q: How do I let you know what contact information I want to be published in the online and print directories? A: All families are opted into the Student Directory. Use the Directory Publishing Preferences in A to Z to set your preferences. The deadline to verify and set your publishing preferences is Oct. 12. Q: We are a two-household family. Is it possible to get 2 copies of the printed directory. A: Please email mpspto@yahoo.com with your request by Oct. 12. Questions? mpspto@yahoo.com |
