ParentSquare Conference Sign-Ups
As parent teacher conferences approach, don’t forget we use ParentSquare sign-ups to easily have parents/guardians sign up for time slots. This walkthrough will guide you through the steps to send out a post with an appointment sign-up. Google sheets with names and information can violate student and parent privacy and outside sign-ups like SignUpGenius do not have signed agreements with RCSD to share data.

Emergency Contact: If there is ever a reason that you need to get a hold of me please save my number. Feel free to text Richard Prestedge cell# 916-529-3255

**Please remember to check the LIVE Google Calendar as dates/times are subject to change.
