THE BEAR ESSENTIALS
Week of September 14, 2026
Dear Bear Families,
Keeping your student’s information up to date is an important part of keeping our students safe. Please take a few minutes to update your student’s Emergency Card online for the 2026–2027 school year.
The attached directions walk you through updating your student’s information. Please pay special attention to the CONTACT section and make sure your phone number and email address are accurate and current. Completing this update is also necessary for families to view their student’s schedule once it becomes available.
A quick reminder: In Parent Connect, updating your information is called “RE-ENROLLMENT.” Please do not be concerned by this wording. You are not re-enrolling your student; you're updating your family and emergency contact information for the new school year.
If you have trouble accessing your Parent Connect account or need help completing the update, please contact hickeyt@wy.k12.mi.us. Thank you for helping us keep your student safe and your family connected with accurate information!
