Frequently Asked Questions
When will I know my class schedule and bus routing information?
You can receive your bus schedule at your school's Orientation. If you cannot attend Orientation, you will have to contact your school for more information or receive the information on the first day of school.
Class schedules will be shared on the first day of school.
When can I meet my child's teachers?
We will host a Meet The Teacher Night on August 27 at 5:30pm so that families can meet teachers and community partners. More information will be shared soon about this event.
How will I stay informed throughout the school year?
We use ParentSquare to communicate with our families. You can download this app to your phone, but once you are completely enrolled with us you'll begin receiving text and emails from our team. You can also send direct messages to our staff in your language of preference.
