You can check it from any computer or smart phone. There also a link on the school website in case you lose the web address. However, if you subscribe, you’ll get an automatic notice anytime something new is posted.Subscribing is a simple 2-stage process. 1^st click the subscribe link so you can enter your email address and the verification text. You’ll soon get an email with a link to click on to verify your subscription. Once you verify, you’re all set.

We also use the Remind app for quick reminders. It’s even quicker and easier to join. Just text the correct code for your daughter’s troop to 81010 to receive text updates from our troops: Daisies – @tr21247; Brownies – @tr21248; Juniors – @tr21249; OGs – @tr21246
