UPDATES FROM YOUR CLASSROOM

PTS Preschool has teamed up with Shutterfly to create mini sites for teachers to share weekly updates and photos from the classroom.  Each parent will get a personal email invitation to join the site.  Once you update your profile, you will have access to the classroom roster and other parents contact information.  You can also update your profile and subscription preferences.  You can log on to the shared site via the web, or download the iphone or android apps, and customize your experience.
*Note: You must receive a personal invitation and set up your personal preferences to get any email updates.  If you don't get an email from your teacher during the first week of school, please let us know so we can confirm that we have the correct email address on file.

SHARED SITES TIPS FOR PARENTS:

• Click the orange icon to access the dropdown menu that will allow you to update your prefered settings and profile details visible to other parents.
