There are several means of communication at Rooftop including announcements, newsletters, and on-line tools that help to keep our parents informed.  Teachers and administrators use all of these platforms to communicate with each other and with families.

​

ParentSquare – ParentSquare is Rooftop’s safe and secure platform for all school-to-home communication.  In it you’ll find our calendar, directory, posts from teachers and the principals, sign ups for volunteer opportunities, and more.  Here’s what you can do and how to do it:

• View the school calendar.

• Check our school directory.

• Update your record for the school directory. You can add a family picture and hide or show your email, phone and address.

• Receive all school and classroom communication via email or text – Change your notification preferences. You can choose to receive notifications as email and/ or text, instantly or as a digest.

• Add pictures to albums shared by your teacher or at school.  Pictures uploaded to your class are private and viewable only by parents in your class.

• Check out groups at schools and join a group. 

• Download the ParentSquare iPhone or Android app and keep track of all school activities on the go.

• Give appreciations for posts generously.

• Sign up to volunteer or bring items to an event or field trip.

• Sign up for parent/teacher conferences online.
