If you don’t see this screen, please contact (712-279-6739), and someone from the Central Registration team can submit your annual verification application for you. It is possible that some web browsers will not allow you to submit.
In each text reference, “parent/guardian” should be written lowercase unless it is the start of a sentence or on a button name. So, the first time it is used in the second sentence it should be lower case. Also, on the first reference “parents” should be plural to match “guardians”
Should 20-21 be change to 21-22?
First bold sentence add “an” before emergency contact. Last sentence says click “Save/Continue” but there is no Save button. Should it just say “Continue” in the sentence?
“Edit/Review” should have quote marks to be consistent with how we refer to button names throughout.
If you need assistance with this process, please call Heidi Hutton at 712-279-6833.

Handle with Care Initiative Launches in Sioux City
The Sioux City Community School District is launching a new initiative, Handle with Care, in partnership with the Sioux City Police Department (SCPD). This initiative is part of an effort to further advance work to support the emotional needs of students. Handle with Care is an alert system set up to notify the District any time a police officer is dispatched to a student’s home. SCPD will NOT share any details about the call or police activity. The alert will only prompt the District officials to take actions to “handle the student with care” in the days following the call. School staff that closely interact with the student involved will be prompted to observe the student’s behavior. If the student exhibits signs that indicate distress or concern, a professional school counselor will support the student’s emotional needs. The Handle with Care program will launch on December 1, 2019. If you have questions about the program, please call:
· Jen Gomez, Sioux City Community School District: 712-279-6075
· Sgt. Jeremy McClure, Sioux City Police Department: 712-279-4981

Communication and Preparedness
Student and staff safety is of paramount importance in the Sioux City Community School District. For this reason, the District exercises a host of crisis prevention and planning tactics. Should an emergency occur, the school notifies you through our Blackboard phone system. In an emergency, the system calls every phone number associated with your child in order to reach you. The message will give you details about the emergency and provide directions on when/where to pick up your child if the normal school day is altered. Learn more about school safety.
