📢 Important Info

Greetings!

Reminder: School start times are 7:30 am for Middle School and 9:10 am for Elementary. We appreciate your support ensuring your students are on time for school every day, as being late is disruptive to both the individual students and the crew. If your child will be absent from school, we must be informed by 10:00am on the date of absence. We also need to know the reason for the absence. Thank you!
 

📆 Our Schedule This Week

Monday: PTC Great Skate Info Night & Brainstorm Session ~ 6-7pm at Alibi Truckee.
Friday: Summit Day! Be sure to dress appropriately for the weather and conditions. Pack a water bottle and a big, healthy lunch for your child. Just a reminder that we are off campus all day, so please be on time for school. Also, you will not be able to sign students in or out at school for appointments while they are off campus.
Sunday: Wish ELD Coordinator Maura Bannon a very Happy Birthday!

📱ParentSquare Tips

HOW TO ENABLE DAILY DIGEST
Instead of receiving notifications throughout the day, you can get a single email, text, or app notification at 6:00 PM containing all posts from that day. Emergency alerts will still come through immediately.   
Open Settings in the ParentSquare App by tapping the Menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top-left corner, then select Account > Notifications.
Set Frequency to Digest - Next to your school or district, tap the dropdown/toggle for Email, Text, or App Notifications and change the setting from Instant to Digest.

  • Verification: Check your notification preferences screen. The label next to Email, Text, or Push Notifications should now display Digest instead of Instant.

TOGGLING BETWEEN CHILDREN, CLASSES, OR ACCOUNTS
If you have multiple children, classes, or dual roles (e.g., Staff + Parent), you can switch views instantly.   
Open Account Switcher in the Top Menu by tapping the Menu icon (three lines) in the top-left corner.
Tap Switch Account at the very top, or tap on your child's name at the top to select the specific student, class, or account view you want.
Add Additional Accounts (If Needed)
If an account or child is missing, tap Add Another Account and log in with the associated email/credentials.

  • Verification: Check the top bar on your Home screen; it will display the name of the active student, class, or role currently selected.

FINDING YOUR SIGN-UPS + RSVPs
Tap the More tab at the bottom right corner of the main app screen.
Tap Sign-Ups & RSVPs under the Participate section.
Click between All Sign-Ups and Your Sign-Ups at the top.

CHECKING SUBMITTED FORMS + PERMISSION SLIPS 
Tap More at the bottom right, then select Forms & Permissions.
Look under the All Forms or My Forms tabs at top.
