OUR MISSION
The Mountainside NJ Parent Teacher Organization brings together parents, teachers, and neighbors to support quality education at Beechwood and Deerfield schools. We fund programs and resources that enrich our children's school experience, build community through shared events, and work together to keep our schools safe, welcoming places to learn and grow. Every family, teacher, and neighbor is welcome — because it takes all of us to make Mountainside schools great.
