Parents & Guardians, please make sure your contact information is updated! We have impending inclement weather forecasted and we want to make sure you are kept up-to-date with school-related scheduling changes as they happen. Contact your child's campus main office to ensure they have your current contact information.
We will send out a test message via text and voice call at 12:00pm today (Tuesday, January 9, 2024). If you DO NOT receive that message, it means we do not have your current phone information. Please provide that to the district through your student's campus main office. Thank you for your help!

Parents, please make sure your students are coming to school! This school year alone, just Kindergarten and First Grade have over 1200 DAYS MISSED!

If you need help getting your student to school, please contact your child's campus for bus routes or other information.
