    A new school year always brings excitement about seeing old friends and making new ones, learning new subjects, and participating in fun school activities. It also brings questions about important issues such as school calendars and transportation. The back-to-school website is designed to answer those questions and to help students and parents prepare for the new school year. Click back-to-school below to visit.

  • We use ParentSquare for school communication, primarily with email, text and app notifications which allows district, school administrators and teachers to more effectively communicate and engage with families and students. ParentSquare automatically generates an account for each parent using their preferred email address and phone number.

    We encourage parents to access their accounts so they can download the mobile app and update their preferences, including when and how they receive notifications.

    ParentSquare is a safe, secure, and modern approach to communication and collaboration between school and home. Learn more about ParentSquare.

  • Edulog is an app that lets parents view the location of their student's school bus to gauge arrival times each day. The app sends a push notification to the parent's smartphone when the bus enters a user-defined geographic area around the stop. Parents only receive access by registering with data unique to their child. It's all information to help parents feel secure about their child's trip on the school bus!
