ACTION REQUIRED: Annual Student Information Update
To prioritize safety and efficiency, we require all parents and students to complete a yearly review and sign off on the information, policies, and procedures.
To streamline this process and make it convenient for everyone, we have integrated this review into our user-friendly Parent Portal system, which we refer to as "Online Registration" or "The Yearly Information Update" in our communications.
All families must complete this review, update any information that may have changed since last year, and sign off on required policies and procedures by September 7, 2023. Families with 5th and 9th-grade students should know that this process must be completed before a school-issued Chromebook will be deployed to their child.
For more information, please review the Technology Department communication and instructions here: https://bit.ly/3QRXuNo.
