• Powerschool Annual Student Update - Parents should have received an email from our district regarding updating student information on Powerschool. It is VITAL that this information be filled out/updated. Please remember that we use this information in the event of an emergency, so it is critical that the information be correct. Please supply an email that you check regularly and a phone number you answer regularly. While our Parent Center will be able to help during Walk Thru, the lines can get long. Please complete as much as you can, and we are happy to help with the rest! Students will not be able to pick up their schedules unless this is complete, and that vaccination records are submitted. In order to avoid delays in picking up a schedule, please make sure you have completed this information by Wednesday, August 7th at noon.
