Parents & Family

We welcome calls and emails from parents and hope you will contact us if you have a concern or question about your student

Often the information we can supply to you is helpful, even though federal law restricts what we can share without your student’s permission

The Parent Handbook should answer most questions and will be distributed at Orientation; it is available at the parents website.

Dawn Bruner, the Director of Parent Relations, is always happy to hear from you.
