Student Accident Insurance Information

The District does not carry medical insurance on students; however, it does provide parents with the opportunity to select a primary excess group insurance plan for their child. Since many group insurance policies no longer pay full hospital and medical expenses and many require a deductible or co-insurance, student accident insurance can help eliminate the possibility of out-of-pocket expenses.  There are two plans available for your consideration. Please click here for more details and information on enrollment.

Report Cards will be available for pickup beginning Monday, June 24.  To ensure student privacy, report cards will only be released to the parent of record. Final report card information may also be accessed online after June 13 via PowerSchool. If you are unable to pick up your students report card, you may place a self address/stamped envelope in the brown envelope in the green little library on our patio and will then mail your report card to you.
