Stay Connected and Engaged!

Staying informed and connected is an important part of a strong school community. Our District Communication Guide provides an overview of the many ways we share news, updates, and important information with students, families, staff, and community members. Use this guide to learn where to find the information you need and how to stay engaged with everything happening across the District.

District and school communications will transition to ParentSquare through a three-year implementation plan, providing ample time for families and staff to become familiar with and adjust to the new platform. Please read below for more information about the transition plan and how it impacts your family.

Beginning in the 2025-26 school year, ParentSquare will serve as the District’s primary communication tool for district and school-wide communications, including newsletters and important updates. Please visit the platform to access and view all district and school-wide communications.

If you are unable to access ParentSquare or need assistance, please contact your school office.
