This is great way to get information!

We created a website for students and families to find the information they need in one place. We are continually adding resources and information to help communicate. The website is the place students can access their weekly playbook and integrated arts lessons. Staff are teaching students how to navigate the website, but it will also be helpful for families. I would encourage you to bookmark the site and visit regularly. The website also has the following information:

• Staff contact information (school phone, google voice and email)
• Tech/academic support form for questions - We have staff available throughout the day to help answer questions.
• Resources for families
• Specific school information and announcements
