Essential back-to-school checklist for parents

As students prepare for the first day of school, we’ve created a checklist for parents to ensure a smooth transition into the new school year. This comprehensive guide is designed to prepare both parents and students for a successful year ahead.

• Update your Parent Portal in PowerSchool
  
  Throughout the year, the district may need to send you important messages about school closures, updates, and emergencies. To receive these notifications, it's crucial to keep your contact information current in the Parent Portal. Make sure your phone number and email address are up to date. Review your current information in the Parent Portal here. 
• Download our Transportation App
  
  Stay informed about bus routes and schedules with our bus tracking system. You can get up to the minute bus route information by downloading our app. It is also important to familiarize yourself with our bus routes prior to the first day of school. You can view the schedules here.
• Review the 2024-2025 calendar
  
  Bookmark or print the district’s academic calendar. The calendar Includes early release days, breaks, and holidays which can help in planning your year effectively.

• Visit the Back to School Webpage
  
  This page compiles essential back-to-school information, including school hours and our backpack policy. Make sure to review it thoroughly to be well-prepared for the first day.
