Parent Square Notifications
 
Under General Announcements, you can select how often you want to receive notifications for posts. Select Off, Instant or Digest notifications.
 
Off:no notifications about posts will be sent to you. Emergency Alerts and Notices will still be sent. School Alerts will still be sent if turned on.
Instant:you'll receive an email and/or text and/or an app notification every time a notice or message is sent.
Digest:you'll receive an email and/or text and/or an app notification once a day in the evening with all posts from that day.

Third Grade

Mrs. Delgado and Ms. Gonzalez class took their learning outdoors this week! Students used paintbrushes and cups of water to “paint” the sidewalks and playground, then observed how the water marks slowly disappeared. Through this fun, hands-on activity, students discovered how evaporation works and how sunlight and heat play an important role in the process. It was a simple yet powerful way to bring science concepts to life!
