Konstella: The PFA provides a communication tool for ALL parents called Konstella.
Konstella is the only official platform used by the PFA for communications. It is maintained by the PFA and offers information that is PFA focused such as:
Parent directory to find contact information for other FMS parents (depending on each parent’s specified account settings)
Calendar details showing various holidays, school days off/minimum days, PFA meeting dates/times, Dine & Donate fundraising events, and other
important FMS and PFA dates and events.
Donation page for the PFA Education Fund where you can also make an online donation directly through the Konstella donation page.
Sign-ups for volunteer opportunities such as helping at teacher appreciation events or student social events.
Various sales or collections the PFA may be running such as dances, 8th promotion, etc
ParentSquare: PLEASE NOTE: Parent Square is used for communications by the Teachers/Administration/School District ONLY.
The PFA has no ability to create and send messages through this platform. For this reason, the PFA encourages parents to join Konstella from the beginning of 6th grade (with reminders throughout each year) since this is something parents need to initiate on their own. Emails are not provided from elementary schools, Foothill administration or the district to be automatically fed into Konstella nor do elementary school Konstella accounts automatically roll over into middle school Konstella accounts. Likewise, please note that middle school Konstella accounts DO NOT automatically feed into high school accounts. *8th grade families will need to join Northgate's Konstella account when transitioning to 9th grade.
Helpful Konstella Tips:
ALREADY HAVE AN ACCOUNT – THEN THIS IS A MUST! If you have a Konstella account, please go into your settings and confirm you have your notifications settings turned on to ensure you are getting all alerts/messages in a timely manner. The #1 way to miss important messages or details is to have your notifications turned off.
HAVE KIDS AT TWO DIFFERENT SCHOOLS? If you have kids at two different schools AND have Konstella accounts at both, make sure you can see both schools in your Konstella account. If on a desktop this means you can see both schools on the left side navigation bar. If on the Konstella app, at the top center of your app you should see the name of one school and an arrow that lets you toggle between the two schools. If you don't see either of these two options, log out of your account and log back in. If you still don't see either of these, it most likely means you do not have an account set up at the school you aren't seeing or there is a problem with that account.
To the PFA Education Fund!
The Foothill Middle School Parent Faculty Association (FMS PFA) is a parent-led organization that works closely with Principal Stull and the teachers and administrators to provide information for parents, coordinate some student activities, and raise money by way of donations to the PFA Education Fund. The Education Fund's purpose is to supplement funding from MDUSD and the State of California to pay for vital resources for our students. As a parent at FMS, you are automatically a member of the Foothill PFA!
The information shared on this website is in addition to the official Foothill Middle School website. For official school information and to contact administrators and teachers at FMS, please go to the FMS website.
