We are pleased to share that we have a new way to update all the required information that the school asks for each year! This entire process is now paperless and it happens in Powerschool. You will no longer receive the large packet of papers on the first day of school! We are starting this new process early in hopes to get student information current before school starts. ​ ​ To view the update from our Technology Department: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tQNnVx52s5iMVqgG2LveNEQVswA76z_ThUGvIx_HL_A/edit?usp=sharing
