September Happenings

Annual Student Information Update

Please login now to Aspen to update your student’s information and permissions. This review must be done every year so that the district has accurate and up-to-date information on addresses, emergency contacts, health records, etc.

It is also critical to review the permissions for the 2023-2024 school to indicate preference on utilizing and releasing student data, information, and photos.

Please update all records and permissions by Friday, September 29th. Here we have linked a document with directions for updating your information through Aspen.

If you're an aspiring artist or just someone who loves to paint, share your ideas with the whole city by painting a window! Registration is now open.
