We encourage parents who have questions or concerns to contact the district. To ensure a more timely response to an issue, please contact the appropriate staff member. Generally, it is best to start with your child’s classroom teacher, followed by the building principal or assistant principal, if necessary. Use the links provided for the staff email directory and district administrator directory, or use the school phone numbers.
