Streamline district processes to support teaching and learning goals.

Our district is committed to supporting excellent teaching and learning for all students. To maintain a focus on our teaching and learning goals, we are engaged in on-going efforts to streamline district processes. We are currently implementing paperless processes for communications with parents and food service. This year we have introduced digital communication tools such as ZippSlip and voice notification. We are also moving toward an online gradebook and electronic report card process for staff. Through these efforts, we are working to reduce our reliance on paper, improve communication and efficiency, so that we can keep our focus where it needs to be -- on our students.
