Parent square is our main communication platform and what is used if there is an emergency. It uses the contact information in our AERIES that was completed during registration. This would be a phone number or an email that is on file. If you are not receiving notices, your information may need to be updated. Please come by or call the school if you would like assistance with your Parent Square.

Please see below for our updated Perfect Attendance Award Policy. This will apply to Trimester 2 and Trimester 3.

• Please try to plan appointments outside of the school day to avoid your child missing valuable instruction.
• Any individual picking up a scholar early from school needs to provide a Photo ID and be listed on the emergency contact list.
• For your child's safety, we cannot release a scholar to someone who does not have an ID or who is not listed in the emergency contacts.
• Parents can update emergency contact information through Parent Portal or by presenting identification to update their contact information in person. Phone requests to update contact information will not be permitted.
• To limit disruptions to classroom dismissals, we do not call out scholars within 20 minutes of dismissal.

• Parking Reminders: Please do not park in designated disabled parking stalls or leave your car at disabled loading and unloading zones along the curb. These areas are reserved for individuals with disabilities. When picking up or dropping off your scholars, be sure to park legally if parking in the neighborhood. Our Val Verde Police Department will be citing illegally parked cars. Thank you for prioritizing the safety and accessibility of these designated zones.
• Thank you to our families who are using their Taxis! This really helps speed up our dismissal.
