Social Media

    • Three Reasons You Should Follow School and District Social Media
      We would like to invite you to take a moment and follow our district and school social media feeds. Staying in touch with us on social media will keep you in the loop on the amazing things we are accomplishing together each day. Although it is a supplemental space, social media can also be a critical line of communication during emergencies and will be a great place for you to get up to date information. 

      Knowledge - Learn about what makes our community, our schools, district programs, students, teachers, district staff, families, and the future so amazing!

      Stay Connected - Keep up to date with what is going on at your child's school and the district as a whole. Participate in the shared experience of our social media community. Like, share/RT, comment on topics that inspire you!

      Emergency Communication - During emergencies district social media feeds may be a critical line of communication with our community. When we respond to a school-wide or district-wide emergency, one of the first lines of communication to be updated will be social media.
