S'MORE Weekly Bulletin - No Comments
While teachers and parents may dialogue via ParentSquare, I'm only sending the S'more newsletter via ParentSquare, but not returning to it to respond to comments. Therefore, the comments option has been turned off. You may call the school office for any questions or support. Thank you!
Parent Information
We're 77% Complete on Online Data Confirmation ( ODC ) 9 schools are above 80%
The greatest fundraiser, without costing a dime!
Teachers will send a reminder and instructions to families who have not yet completed the process. When each class reaches 100% students will be invited to a hot-off-the-grill pancake breakfast!
To complete ODC:
- Go to the Aeries Parent & Student Portal and log in. If you do not have a log in, please follow the prompts to create an account. If you need assistance with this, please call our school's office.
- Once logged in, if you have not completed the ODC a pink banner will appear across the top of your screen prompting you to complete the process. Follow the prompts and select "Finish and Submit" to finalize the data confirmation.
If you need clarity on the above steps, or would like to see screenshots, please view this document.
Every completed confirmation helps our school stay connected with families and better equips us to support students. Thank you for partnering with us and helping us start the year strong!
