Re: Parent Notification System

Please make sure we have current and accurate phone numbers for you. You can do this by emailing or calling your child's campus office and verifying the phone numbers we have on record. You can also add an additional cell or work number. This will ensure that you receive timely phone notifications for all school-related closures and emergencies.   Thank you.
