February Newsletter
CAST Tech High School
Welcome February!
This year, re-enrollment will look a little different than last year. We are using Frontline for re-enrollment and it starts February 8th.
In order for things to run smoothly, we are asking that ALL parents register themselves in the Frontline Parent Portal, that way on February 8th you are ready to go.
I will leave the info to register below and if you have any questions please let us know so we can help you get registered.
Another important announcement is the Parent Survey for the 2020-2021 school year. All families will receive a mail-out to their house with their unique code. Please fill out this survey as soon as you can!
Friendly reminder that there are no classes on February 15th for President's Day
The new SAISD Parent Portal is an easy-to-use and secure communication tool that allows parents/guardians to monitor their child's progress in real time:
- View your child's attendance, grades, and schedule
- Contact your child's teacher by e-mail
- Receive alerts and notifications on your phone
All parents/guardians will need to create a new account before the app will work.
Parent Survey
During the week of February 8th, you will receive a mail out to your house regarding the Parent Survey for the 2020-2021.
Please complete as soon as possible!!
In person students will also receive a copy here in the campus
If your address has changed let us know!!
We appreciate your time and effort to complete this survey!
