Starting November 4, messages will be sent home one hour after school starts if a student did not arrive to school. Early communication is to encourage families to clear attendance using Family Access and ensure students arrive safely.

If you notify the school of the absence prior to the message, it may not be cleared for up to 24 hours; and you can disregard the message.

Check out how the step to report you absence through Skyward Family Access on the school website. Look for the Attendance Icon!

We want to keep all parents and guardians informed about district and school information. However, it can be overwhelming to get phone calls, emails and texts. You can manage you messages to fit your preference but access stored messages to review at a later date.

Download the application in Google Play Store or Apple App Store. You will be able to set preferences on which types of messages you want to receive and how.

Reminder: YHS, RMS and YMS students will be charged meals starting October 16, if an application is not submitted to renew benefits. Please complete your applicaton today.

EVERY ELIGIBLE FORM COUNTS! Every eligible form that is not submitted means lost resources for our schools. Completing an application takes less than 10 minutes, and parents only need to complete one Meal Application.

If you are new to Washington or have recently moved, you can easily register or update your address online. You have until October 28.

Ballots will be mailed October 10, but you can print a ballot from votewa.gov.
