    AUTOMATED CALLS AND TEXT MESSAGES

    • The district utilizes an automated phone system to send updates and notify parents/guardians when a student has been marked absent for the day without notice from home. These phone calls will show a 247-5050 phone number. If you miss a call, please listen to your messages or check the district website for information. It is also used to communicate urgent information, so please keep your contact information updated.

Commonly-Used Classroom Communication Tools

  • Teachers may use some or all of the following to communicate with you throughout the school year.

    TAKE-HOME FOLDER:

    • Each student brings home a take-home folder containing information about school-wide and classroom activities.
    • Please help your student establish a daily routine for sharing their take-home folder with you.

    STUDENT AGENDAS:

    • Students in grades 4-5 are provided agendas to help them develop independence in organizing assignments and managing their time. Teachers will also use agendas to correspond with parents/guardians.
    • Please help your student establish a routine in which they check and share their agenda with you daily.

    SCHOOLOGY:

    • When students are using technology at home and at school, Schoology is a one-stop shop to see all assignments and to communicate with the teacher. This is an online platform accessible from the district's single sign-on platform, ClassLink, which serves as the student opening screen.
