We encourage you to only rely on information from approved sources. Thank you for your cooperation! 

 

Guidance for Family Associations: 

If you are a Family Association member, we encourage you to create an online community using an approved campus communication tool (Ex: Class Dojo) or a group that limits personal information being shared (Ex: GroupMe, Remind). You can also share information through campus Family Notes with the support of your campus Social Media Ambassador, Executive Assistant, or Principal.
