Dear Families,

Last school year, we adopted a new form of school-to-home communication called ParentSquare. This unified communications platform is designed to keep parents and guardians informed and encourage greater engagement and connection. It provides a safe way for district administrators, school principals, teachers, staff, and parents to:

- Send and receive school and class information
- Share pictures and files
- See calendar items
- Sign up to volunteer
- Schedule parent-teacher conferences and much more . . . all in one centralized place!

All district and school, grade level and classroom information will now be sent to your computer or phone via email and/or text. For even more convenience, download the ParentSquare app (available for free for iOS and Android devices).

Have questions? Click the question mark in the top right corner of the desktop version or the Help tab on the app (tap the triple bar icon at the top left) to find answers to most of your questions.

Estimadas familias:

Nos complace anunciar que adoptamos una nueva forma de comunicación entre la escuela y el hogar en SCUC llamada ParentSquare. Esta plataforma de comunicaciones unificadas está diseñada para mantener informados a los padres y tutores y fomentar una mayor participación y conexión con SCUC y Dobie. Proporciona una forma segura para que los administradores del distrito, los directores de escuela, los maestros, el personal y los padres:

- Envíe y reciba información de la escuela y la clase.
- Comparta fotografías y archivos.
- Vea los elementos del calendario.
- Inscríbase para ser voluntario.
- Programe conferencias de padres y maestros y mucho más. . . ¡Todo en un lugar centralizado!

Toda la información del distrito y la escuela, el nivel de grado y el aula ahora se enviará a su computadora o teléfono por correo electrónico y / o mensaje de texto. Para mayor comodidad, descargue la aplicación ParentSquare (disponible de forma gratuita para dispositivos iOS y Android).

¿Tiene preguntas? Haga clic en el signo de interrogación en la esquina superior derecha de la versión de escritorio o en la Ayuda pestaña de la aplicación (toque el icono de la barra triple en la parte superior izquierda) para encontrar respuestas a la mayoría de sus preguntas.

We hope your student had a great first few days back to school!

We want to send a friendly reminder about our school's dress code. We've shown grace over the first two days of school, but we'll begin enforcing the dress code starting this Monday, August 18th.

Please take a moment to review these key policies with your student to ensure they're dressed for success each school day:
- Pajama pants and slippers/house shoes are not permitted.
- Shorts, skirts, and dresses must be mid-thigh length or longer.
- Low-cut tops and crop tops are not allowed.

These guidelines help us maintain a safe, focused learning environment for everyone. We appreciate your partnership in making sure all students are following the dress code.

Time: Please make note of the times and for which grade level. They change daily for the first two days. Doors will open 15-20mins prior to AM tryouts. Students will be given time to eat breakfast in the Cafeteria after AM tryouts, before school starts.

What to wear: Athletes are to wear their Dobie athletic clothes to tryouts. If you have not received your clothes prior to tryouts, please wear a black or grey shirt and black shorts. NO spandex shorts. You do not have to have court shoes. A good pair of running shoes will work as well. Come already dressed for AM tryouts.

Again, make sure you have a physical on file with us. You cannot tryout if we do not have one.

For 7th grade, first cuts will be made after the second day (Friday) tryouts. All notifications for who will need to attend day three (Saturday) tryouts will be made through Parent Square on that Friday.

Meet the leadership team
Dobie FCCLA traveled to Orlando for the National Leadership Conference earlier this month. Students competed in STAR Events, went to the Kennedy Space Center, Universal Studios, and Disney Springs! Three out of the four teams who competed placed in the top ten. Ms. Economidis and Ms. Morales are so proud of these Cougars (soon to be Knights) and all of their hard work and dedication this year.

Dear Dobie Families,

As we begin the 2025–2026 school year, we want to make sure you’re connected and in the know every step of the way. That’s why we’re encouraging all parents and guardians to download the free ParentSquare app on your phone.

This is the platform we’ll be using for school and district messages, event reminders, schedule changes, and even classroom updates. The app also allows you to communicate directly with your child’s teachers and receive messages in your preferred language.

Here’s how to get started:
- Download the ParentSquare app from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
- Log in using the email or phone number you have on file in Skyward.
- Check your settings: Go to Account > Preferences > Notification Settings to choose how and when you want to receive messages (immediate or once daily, via text, push notifications, or email). You can also update your language preference in the Account Preferences.

To prevent message overload, we recommend setting your notifications to “digest mode” for non-urgent messages. You’ll still get urgent alerts right away—but everyday updates can be grouped into one message at the end of the day. When you receive this digest message at 6 pm, you’ll be able to scroll through all messages (by campus/sender) sent up until that point. Messages sent after 6 pm will appear in the following day’s digest message.

We’re excited to continue building strong, two-way communication with you through ParentSquare. Thank you for partnering with us to make this a great school year!

## Para las familias de Dobie:

Estimadas familias de Dobie:

Al comenzar el año escolar 2025-2026, queremos asegurarnos de que estén conectados e informados en cada paso del camino. Es por eso que animamos a todos los padres y tutores a descargar la aplicación gratuita ParentSquare en su teléfono.

Esta es la plataforma que utilizaremos para los mensajes escolares y del distrito, recordatorios de eventos, cambios de horario e incluso actualizaciones del aula. La aplicación también les permite comunicarse directamente con los maestros de sus hijos y recibir mensajes en su idioma preferido.

Aquí les indicamos cómo empezar:
* Descarguen la aplicación ParentSquare desde Apple App Store o Google Play.
* Inicien sesión utilizando el correo electrónico o número de teléfono que tienen registrado en Skyward.
* Revisen su configuración: Vayan a Cuenta > Preferencias > Configuración de notificaciones para elegir cómo y cuándo desean recibir mensajes (inmediatos o una vez al día, por mensaje de texto, notificaciones push o correo electrónico). También pueden actualizar su preferencia de idioma en Preferencias de cuenta.

Para evitar una sobrecarga de mensajes, les recomendamos configurar sus notificaciones en "modo digesto" para los mensajes no urgentes. Seguirán recibiendo alertas urgentes de inmediato, pero las actualizaciones diarias se pueden agrupar en un solo mensaje al final del día. Cuando reciban este mensaje digesto a las 6 p. m., podrán desplazarse por todos los mensajes (por escuela/remitente) enviados hasta ese momento. Los mensajes enviados después de las 6 p. m. aparecerán en el mensaje digesto del día siguiente.

Estamos entusiasmados de seguir construyendo una comunicación sólida y bidireccional con ustedes a través de ParentSquare. ¡Gracias por asociarse con nosotros para hacer de este un gran año escolar!
