If you need to communicate with your school or teacher it will be necessary to phone the school directly until email services have been restored.

In response to the needs of our district we have made some minor tweaks to where employees go to find tools they use on a regular basis. 

We have moved "About Us" under "Contact".  We replaced "About Us" with "Staff".  There you will find tools such as BCeSIS, District Email, ESS Automated TTOC Dispatch and MyBudget File. 

For now some of these links will be where they were before, but will disappear in due time.
