Communications are sent via email. School newsletters are published online, offering families and students easy access to pertinent information. An email is sent to families who have registered their email address with their child's school. Approved flyers from community and nonprofit agencies also are published online under Families>Virtual Backpack.
Providing an email address is essential!
In order to make this approach to communication successful, it is essential to have current email addresses in our system. Some of the school/district information that is sent via email includes the following:
- School Closings
- Parent/Teacher Conferences
- School Newsletters
