🏫 Standing with Every Student and Family: Our ICE Response Process
We know that recent immigration enforcement actions — both nationally and locally — have raised concern in our community. Our schools are prepared, and we have clear steps in place to protect students and respond to any requests from government agencies.
📞 Keep Your Emergency Contact Info Updated
Make sure we can reach you, or someone you trust in an emergency. Log in to ParentVUE to complete online verification or update your contact details. Need help? Call your school's front office.
🚪 Visiting Our Schools? Here’s the Check-In Process
We have security procedures to protect everyone in our buildings. Please remember to use the main entrance. Security systems allow office staff to see and talk to visitors before unlocking the door — ensuring a secure and welcoming environment for all.
🌟 Last Day of School Reminders
The last day of school – June 25 for grades K-11 – will be a three-hour day starting at your regular time. The last day of preschool is June 24. June 17 is the last day for high school seniors. Seniors should check in with their counselor for check-out information.
As a reminder, June 20 is a regular early release Friday.

To be eligible to enroll for the next school year, children must turn 3 or 4 by August 31. Families must first complete the Preschool Interest Form.
🛡️ REMINDER: Notice of Data Security Event
This is a follow-up to the ransomware attack we experienced last fall. After a thorough forensic investigation and a labor-intensive review, we determined that certain files containing personal information were accessed by an unauthorized actor. The forensic investigation was conducted by a third-party expert and took several months to complete.
