Why should I register on the Glen Oaks PTA Website?
This website allows you to sign up for volunteer opportunities, join the PTA, order items, make a donation, search our student directory, and more – in just a few simple online steps and without the PTA paperwork and check writing that used to consume your time at the beginning of the school year. Registering an account on our website is not the same as joining the PTA. This is free to do!
What is the difference between registering on the PTA website and joining as a PTA member?
Registering for a free account gives you access to our weekly emails, and soon, our text reminders. Joining the PTA is a separate, optional step you complete through your account, and it's what unlocks the student directory and directly funds the programs and events your dues support, like field trips, staff appreciation, and family events.
It's the beginning of the year so I don't know the name of my child's teacher yet. Can I still register?
Yes! We hope you'll go online and create an account right away. Go to glenoaks.membershiptoolkit.com and click on register. Once you receive your child's teacher assignment, log back in and add that information next to your student's name.
Should my spouse/partner have a separate account? What if we want separate accounts?
When possible, we recommend creating a single account so that all information is stored in one place. When a primary user creates an account, there is a space to invite other email addresses to access the account. This secondary user will have their own login information, access to the family account, be listed in the directory, etc. Only two adults can be listed on one Membership Toolkit account.
For divorced or separated families, one family record can list two separate addresses and contact details – or each adult can register individually and be listed separately in the student directory. Note that if you register individually, there may be forms, such as the PTA membership form, that everyone must complete to have full access to the site.
What if my child has more than 2 adults who want access to the Glen Oaks PTA Website?
Membership Toolkit only allows two adults per account; however, multiple accounts can be linked to the same student. For families where more than two adults want to access the Glen Oaks PTA Website, you can create separate accounts. Note that if you create separate accounts, some forms, such as the PTA membership form, must be completed by someone from each account to have full access to the site.
Can non‑parents join the Glen Oaks PTA?
Yes — everyone is welcome to join the Glen Oaks PTA! Membership is not limited to parents or guardians. If you care about supporting Glen Oaks students, you can be a member.
Who can join:
-
Students (including our Tigers who want to represent and get involved)
-
Grandparents and extended family
-
Teachers and staff
-
Community members and neighbors
-
Local business owners
-
Anyone who wants to support our school
Every membership strengthens our ability to fund programs, host events, support teachers, and build a connected, joyful school community. You don't need to volunteer or attend meetings to make a difference - your membership alone helps our Tigers thrive.
I've registered on the Glen Oaks PTA Website, but I can't access the student directory.
To access the student directory, each account must have at least one PTA member. To purchase a PTA membership, complete the PTA membership form located within your child's forms list, which you will see when you log in to your account. If you have more than one child at Glen Oaks, you only need to join the PTA one time to have access to the student directory.
I changed my email address. How do I update my Membership Toolkit login?
To update your email address, log in to glenoaks.membershiptoolkit.com, then go to your Account Profile by clicking your name in the Login Box. Select the Access tab and complete the information in the "Invite Others" section to invite another email address to access your Account Profile. This is where you will put your new email address, but be sure to use your current password. Then, click "send invite" to receive an email at your new email address. Just click the link in that email to confirm your new email address, then you will be prompted to select a password for it. You can go back and delete your original email address by logging in with your new email address, then going to your Account Profile again and removing the old login email address from the record.
Is there a mobile app for my phone?
The Membership Toolkit App is available for free in the App Store and on Google Play. Just search for "MembershipToolkit" and look for the Membership Toolkit icon. Once you download the app, you'll have access to our student directory and PTA calendar. You'll also be able to make purchases, sign up for volunteer opportunities, and complete forms.
If you are a first-time user or an inactive user, you must create or update your account through the website. If you log in and see an error message "no organizations available," or you do not see an organization that you should, go to that organization's Membership Toolkit website in your browser and log in there first.
What if I don't want my personal information visible to other users?
You can select which information is visible to other users when you register – and you can change it at any time. Being in the Directory is optional! Even if you don't want your information seen by others, you'll still want to register so you can receive communications from the PTA to stay up to date on everything happening at our school.
I still have questions. Can you help?
We're happy to help anytime. Just contact our Communications Chair at glenoaksptapublicity@gmail.com.
