BrightArrow - Notification System
This system will not replace current modes of school communication. Principals and faculty are still accessible for in-person visits and we will still provide a variety of print and online communications to parents. Use of the BrightArrow system is intended to reinforce our commitment to enhance communications and extend connections with parents.
