 Let's Stay in Touch
Throughout the year, there are many times we will need to contact you with information about your student. Please take a few moments to make sure we have complete and current information (especially phone numbers and e-mail addresses) for all parents, guardians, and emergency contacts by checking your information in ParentVUE . Thank you!

Preparedness Month Action Item: Register Your Phone for Reverse 911 
 
September is Preparedness Month and this week's action item is to register your phone for Reverse 911. Reverse 911 is a system law enforcement and emergency service providers can use to alert people in certain geographic areas in the event of an emergency.
 

Did You Know?
When it comes to attendance, 90 percent is a D, not an A.

Students should aim to be at school on time every day and accumulate no more than eight absences in the course of a school year - both excused and unexcused - for an attendance rate of 95 percent or higher.
