Regular password resets help ensure your account stays safe and secure. We encourage you to change your passwords

a minimum once a year.

Recently we had student's reset the password for their school account. Some students did not complete this task and we wanted to let you know that their password will soon be expiring.

Password expiration is staggered in two week stages by grade level from 9th grade - 12th grade:
- 9th grade - November 3rd
- 10th Grade - November 17th
- 11th Grade - December 1st
- 12th grade - December 15th
Students will receive email notification of upcoming password expiration and directions to complete the password reset process
Once it expires you will not be able to logon to critical district resources like Google or Infinite Campus.

Parent Volunteers Needed!

Parents,

Vision and Hearing Screening is November 6 & 7. We will need 4 volunteers for each time slot. If you are willing to help out please sign up.

Volunteers will be helping with the actual hearing screening but not the vision screening. Volunteers do not need prior experience. They will undergo a 15-20-minute training and practice session prior to working with the students.

Because of the technical nature of some of our screening procedures, we request that volunteers not bring children with them, and that they be able to come promptly for training at the requested time.

Looking for community service opportunities? Please visit our NEW opportunities page!

Remember- community service hours need to be completed through a non-profit organization. If you are unsure if an opportunity qualifies please check first. Complete guidelines may be found on our website
