Over 3,000 full-time & part-time employees work to provide our students with the educational opportunities they need to become productive citizens in a global community.

Parent involvement is a key factor in the success of our students & our schools. District policy 2112 summarizes the importance of two-way communication between home & school & describes the responsibilities of the school & the parents in this process.
