PARENTSQUARE: Set contact preferences and explore
This is where all important school info this year will be sent from, using the contact info you specify in Aeries (above). Preferences allow you to set how you receive posts (email, text message, or the ParentSquare mobile app), when you receive them (instantly or nightly), and in what language. ParentSquare also includes school calendars, classroom and schoolwide posts, private messaging, teacher supply wish lists and signups, and more.

DIRECT DONATION: A PFA donation supports Sumac's unique programs
Every donation counts and is appreciated and earns you a school car or refrigerator magnet. We recommend a contribution of $350, with an additional $200 per sibling, but it's all up to what you can afford to help with at this time. It's the most effective way to support our school!

If you make an online Direct Donation by Tues, Aug 18th at midnight... then you will drive off from the materials pickup drive-thru with your Sumac car magnet and keychain the very next day! (Donate online or bring a donation check to materials pickup and take home your gifts of appreciation!)
