First Day 2023

Academic year 2023-24 is off and running. It has been a rough start. Skyward was down for the summer. The kids got an email stating it would be available that day. This was a lie. The parent accounts went active eventually (but most of the tabs weren't populated) and the student accounts were another week away. Michael's requested course changes didn't happen until the night before school started and his schedule listed two classes for 6th period (the original one and the updated one). We assumed this would sort itself out, but we got a notification Friday telling us he had been marked absent for 6th period all week. Unexcused absences and school sports don't mix. We received no notifications about the bus before the school year started. On the second day of school we received a bus text saying the bus would be late for an indefinite amount of time - students should just wait until it comes. 

Hopefully things improve. None of the issues are huge problems, but combined the frustration level is mounting.

I will put up with all the issues as long as these lovely human beings are in school and safe. I think they are going to rock this!
