SchoolMessenger Parent Contact Adjustments for Attendance Notifications
After feedback from parents and guardians, the District has made some adjustments to attendance notifications. We will no longer automatically call parent work phone numbers for attendance notifications. Your primary, home and cell phone will still receive automatic attendance calls.
If you have a direct work line and would like to continue to receive calls at work, please log in to SchoolMessenger InfoCenter and select your work phone as one of the numbers to call. Please note the system is unable to call extensions. We will also begin uploading all parent email addresses into SchoolMessenger for attendance notifications.

There are some important factors families must consider when applying for open enrollment:
- Transportation to the new school is the responsibility of the family. Buses do not travel from the resident school to the open enrollment school; however, occasionally the student may live close to the attendance boundary of the open enrollment school. In this case, parents may submit a written request by completing a “No Transportation Zone Request Form.”
- Approval is for the duration of the current school level only (i.e., elementary, middle or high school).
- There is no guarantee of sibling applications being approved.
- Commitment to attend any school should be for the entire academic year.
- A lottery system may have to be implemented if there are more applications than allocations available.
- Copies of the completed applications will be distributed by the receiving school principal, pending a letter or conversation with the parent/guardian of the student.
Parents will be informed of the decisions by the principal of the school applied to within one week after the conclusion of the open enrollment period. Parents will need to confirm acceptance at that time.
Contact your school if you have any questions regarding the process.
