Email: trace_r@auhsd.us

• Currently, I am sending emails out twice a week through Aeries and Parent Square. I send a beginning of the week email telling you what we are doing for the week, and I send an end of the week grade check. If you are not getting those emails, please do one of the following:
• Check your spam/junk mail folder. If it is going there, please approve or label as not junk.
• Change your contact email in Aeries to one that you check. You may have to contact Orangeview to do this.
