📋 NEW: Online Con

📋 NEW: Online Confidential Student Information Form for 2026-2027!

We're excited to announce that the Confidential Student Information Form is going digital this year! This new online process replaces the multiple paper forms that have traditionally been sent home at the start of the school year.

📧 What to expect: The form will be emailed to the Priority 1 contact for each student through the PowerSchool Enrollment platform on or before Friday, August 28th. The email will include a unique snapcode — your key to accessing your child's form — along with instructions and answers to frequently asked questions.

❓ Didn't get the email? If your child's Priority 1 contact hasn't received it by Friday, August 28th, please contact your child's school for a printable copy.

✅ Keeping your child's information up to date is critical, so we appreciate you completing this form as soon as possible.

Here's to a safe and successful school year! 🍎
