📚 Parent Portal Reminder! 💻
Parents and guardians, please be sure to check your child’s red Wednesday folder for important information about creating your Parent Portal account. The Parent Portal is a helpful way to stay connected and access important information about your child’s school experience. Be sure to look for the instructions in this week’s folder and take a few minutes to get your account set up!
There will also be emergency card information for those who have not yet completed it for the 2026-2027 school year.
Thank you for staying connected and engaged in your child’s education!
