From updates made on this website to the newsletters that appear at your door, our office is dedicated to making sure the lines of communication between the district, members of our district and community are strong.

SchoolTool ParentPortal
The SchoolTool parent portal provides secure access for parents, guardians and secondary students to view emergency contact information and attendance records. Parents of students in grade 3 through high school may access report cards. Parents and students in grades 7 through 12 may access progress reports and student schedules.
Parents use their personal email address and students use their school email address. After first logging into the portal with a temporary secure password, the password can be changed.
Parents who have not submitted an email address but would now like access to the Parent Portal may complete an Online Parent Portal Request form.
- To access the SchoolTool parent portal on a computer, visit the SchoolTool website.
- To access on a phone, download the FREE SchoolTool app for iPhone or Android. You must use the app to have full functionality on a phone.
