What is the Community Bulletin Board?
Our district utilizes a digital community Bulletin Board. This allows our schools and community organizations to save paper and reduce copy costs by thousands of dollars. It also helps flyers make it to parents directly through ClassTag, and not linger at the bottom of a backpack! All flyers from community organizations will be posted on this website and sent directly to parents!
