Good morning Wildcat Parents, We wanted to remind you that report cards for 3rd-8th grade are available to view through your online Skyward portal. Also, when signing into Skyward, all parents/guardians will see a new dashboard tile highlighted in green. This green tile is a Demographics tile that will automatically update the school's records with your personal information such as phone number, address, or emails. Please fill out the sections on this tile in Skyward so we can accurately reach you about District news and upcoming registration! We would love to have all parent information updated by June 5th and hopefully this tile makes it quick and easy for you. Don't forget to double check spelling and numbers so we have the right info. If you do not remember you Skyward password, you can click Forgot Password to have a new link sent to your email on file or email your building principal. Thank you!
