Overall, how well does school information reach you?

What's actually hard to find or easy to miss?

Check anything you've had trouble tracking down, or found out about too late. No wrong answers. This list is everything schoolz already pulls together for you — which is really just our best guess at what matters. If we guessed wrong, the next two boxes are where you say so.

How your school works

Same for every family, barely changes

What time school starts and ends — including half days and delayed openingsWhich rotation day it is (Day 1–5, A/B blocks)How to report an absenceBuses — routes, the late bus, who to call when it's lateLunch menuBefore & after-school care (SACC)Who to contact — principal, nurse, counselor, front officeHandbook & school policies

What's happening & what's due

Changes weekly — where most "wait, that was today?" lives

Calendar — closures, half days, early dismissalsReport card dates, conferences & interimsForm & event deadlines — picture day, field trips, sign-upsPTA news, meetings & fundraisersThe school's weekly newsletterSpirit days & special eventsClubs, sports & after-school activitiesVolunteering & how to help out

Your own child's information

Personal — schoolz deliberately doesn't touch this, but it helps to know how bad it is

Messages from your child's teacher (ClassDojo, Remind, etc.)Grades & report cards (Genesis)Assignments & homework (Google Classroom)Payments & lunch balances (PaySchools)

We record the date and time each response comes in, plus a scrambled one-way code that stands in for your internet connection. We never store your IP address, and that code can't be turned back into one — it exists only so we can show the district these came from real, separate people. More on the privacy page.
