EXPLORE TICKETS
A BIG THANK YOU to the secretaries and principals who have utilized this system for quick efficient and timely service. Your willingness to provide sufficient information allows us to process quickly for you.
We especially appreciate when a site is asking for a student to be dropped from a class to have the student name, student # and whether or not they have ever attended a session OR the last day they attended. You have made it easy peasy for us to help you.
Our job is to make your job easier!!!
Looking forward to serving you during EXPLORE session 2.
