This information is used by the calling and messaging systems, so you will want to make sure that we have the most up to date information as possible. Please also review the order in which the parent names are displayed.
The first parent listed is considered the Primary parent, and they are the one that is called first through the calling system. That parent will also have more access to making changes in the system. If you would like to make a change to the Primary parent for your child (or children), please contact the front office staff at one of the buildings. They will be able to make the change for you.
