Reminder to call or email the school if your child will be absent.
SchoolCash
School Fees are due. Use SchoolCash to pay school fees.
The division has created a “how to page” to help with payments on the parent portal. Please refer to the following link:

Data Verification Forms:
Data Verification Forms were handed out to students. If there are no changes on the form, families can simply write “no changes” and sign their name. Any changes can be made directly on the form. Red pen is ideal so that the changes are evident. In a typical year, both the data verification and payment of fees would be completed in September. Given the delays with setting up PowerSchool, we appreciate your support in returning these forms and settling all fees through SchoolCash as quickly as possible.
Parent Portal:
Access the Parent Portal to view student schedule.
The parent portal allows you to view:
a) Your child's documents, including report cards,
b) Their school schedule, and
c) Their attendance history.
Use this helpful guide to access the parent portal.
