How the emergency test will work:
A phone and text message will be sent to your home and cell phone numbers on file, and you will receive an email to all addresses on file.
Is your contact info updated in case of an emergency?

School attendance is one of the most reliable predictors of student success. Students who attend school regularly have a better chance of building a strong foundation as they move from kindergarten to high school.
