If you are bringing your own computer to school you should know that the technology department cannot provide warranty support for your computer. The technology department will attempt to help with operating system issues if you have your software with you. You must have a current version of anti-virus software running on your computer, and your computer must be virus free. If you computer is a windows based system you must also be current with Microsoft patches.

It is imperative that we have your contact information to notify you in the event of an emergency. The Honeywell Instant Alert system has the capability to notify you via traditional phone line, cell phone, txt message, and email. Please be sure to register before the beginning of school in the fall. Registration will be open after July 31st.

If you are a returning family and registered last year, there is no need to re-register; your information is already in the system, however you may want to review it to ensure you have the correct information listed. If you have any questions concerning registration please contact Debra Case - tel: 860-404-4205.
