The District has changed service providers for our messaging system. We no longer have a callback number for families to retrieve messages they may have missed.

If you miss a message, you can retrieve it in the following ways:
your phone's voicemail or answering machine
text messages sent to your phone
email messages.

Content will frequently be shared all three ways so you can access it in the manner that best fits your communication needs.

With the school year quickly approaching, we wanted to remind you of certain student health requirements to attend school.
