What should I do/expect before the school year starts?
Prior to the start of school, make sure you have set up your Infinite Campus Parent Portal. This system will contain important information regarding your student's grades, attendance, schedule, and allow you to submit your lunch application and opt-in to transportation, etc. See this page for more information about Infinite Campus.
Get ready for lunch!
If your student plans to eat at school, set up their meal account and or complete the Free and Reduced Lunch application.
Opt-in to Bus Transportation
If needed, register your student to ride the school bus.
School supply lists are sent by each individual school.
Teacher assignments are shared a few days before school starts
