Parents, here is a quick reference guide to get started with using Rooms. We are still trying to work out any kinks that we may come across, but want to start using Rooms as soon as possible. Our coaches will be using this as their form of communication with players and parents. If you have any problems or issues while trying to use Rooms, please contact the school and we will do our best to assist you. Please feel free to share this image in an effort to help get this information to parents.
