ParentSquare Conference Sign-Ups
As parent teacher conferences approach, don’t forget you can 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.

Tommy Apostolos Fund Reminder
The Tommy Apostolos Fund (TAF) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide clothing and other necessities for children in Roseville. For more detailed information about TAF, please go to TommyAFund.com
We want to help your students! Please nominate any Kindergarten through 5th grade child you feel would benefit from the Tommy Apostolos Shopping experience. Nominations can be an underserved, a low income, or just a struggling child you feel needs that boost of self-esteem.
When you send over the nominations, please carefully check the student’s name, street address, e-mail address, and phone number. These are used to send applications. We do not give out any of this information.
The nomination deadline is Tuesday, September 30th. Late nominations will only be accepted if space is available.
THESE REFERRALS ARE CONFIDENTIAL. PLEASE DO NOT DISCUSS WITH FAMILIES OR STUDENTS. Applications are sent directly to the families.
The Shopping Day at Kohl’s is Saturday, December 6th starting at 5:30 AM. If you would like to volunteer, please sign up online at TommyAFund.com We love having staff involved, and the students enjoy seeing teachers and staff from their schools!
