Skyward - Updating Weather Contact Information

Parents can update their contact information in Skyward for weather updates and closings.  If you have changed your phone number or email address, follow the instructions below to update your information.

Our calling system places phone calls by household.  If there are multiple guardians and phones per household, it will call the number highest on the list.  Once the call has been answered or a message has been left on voicemail/answering machine it will not attempt to call any other phone numbers in that household.
