The Sousa HSA is excited to announce that we will be using Membership Toolkit for our School Directory starting with the 2019-2020 school year.
The Directory is the main way that the HSA and your class liaisons will communicate important information with your family.
We kindly ask you to check/update your family’s information by Sept 1, 2019. Ensure you are comfortable with your privacy preferences for sharing your family’s information! Scroll below for details on how to Get Started, Benefits of Membership Toolkit App, Privacy FAQs 😊

Privacy Information - Membership Toolkit
Q. Who is my information shared with in the Sousa Directory?
A. Sousa’s Directory is only shared with Sousa families, and is only accessible to Sousa families and staff (if you do have another student at Weber or Schreiber, and are using the same email address, your log in credentials will remain the same, however the information is *not* shared between the Directories for each of the schools).
Q. Can I opt out of sharing any or all of my information, and when is the deadline to complete my changes?
A. Yes you can completely opt out of being listed in the Membership Toolkit Directory and Class Lists. However, this is not recommended, since the purpose of the School Directory is to account for, and include your child in various class/school activities. Additionally, other parents in your class will often use the Directory for event planning, invites etc.
Instead, it is recommended to opt in to the Directory, and set your privacy settings to share limited information, such as your family’s names and, ideally, one form of contact that you are comfortable with, such as email address.
There is no deadline on making changes, you are able to change your privacy settings at any time.
