Welcome to Your Schools

When Families Move
Your assistance in keeping us informed of your new address is greatly appreciated, and certainly helps us better serve your child(ren).  If you plan on moving or have already moved, please call the appropriate building office to provide the new information.
Instant Alert
If you aren't already registered with Instant Alert, please take a moment to do so. We also need your help keeping your records as current as possible.  It is most appreciated that parents update records whenever changing home or cell phone numbers, as well as email addresses. We are most effective with this system when this information is correct.
Instant Alert is used to call parents with school delays, school closings, early releases due to inclement weather, low balances in lunch accounts, student absences, reminders along with a host of other reasons.  Instant Alert is used in combination with other media sources such as radio and television.   Parents are encouraged to continue listening to 98.1 or to watch Channel 11 or 13 for school updates.  In addition, our website will post school delays and closings.
