SCHOOL NEWS |
NEW FOR AUGUST - CHANGE YOUR CONTACT/EMERGENCY INFORMATION ONLINE!
Are you tired of filling out your contact information on the emergency form every year? Wouldn't it be nice to just review your students' information and submit changes online, at your convenience? This August, you will get your chance to do just that. You will be able to log in to Parent Access, click on Family Access, and verify your student's information. Make any needed changes then click submit and be done. More information on the Online Student Information Verification process will be posted on the district website in July.
If you don't have a Parent Access account, now would be a good time to set one up. Just go to the Parent Access page on the district website for more information. Then you will be ready in August to take care of your emergency information online.
