Phone System Issues Across the District
We are currently experiencing issues with our phone system, which is only partially functional at this time. This is directly related to outages from Hurricane Helene, and our providers are actively working to resolve the issue. Families that need to contact their student's school, can reach out through email. The staff directory is available on our website. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
