Hello Jr. High Families! During the 89th Legislative Session, many changes to public schools occurred. As of September 1, 2025, consent forms are now required for students to receive school counseling, health-related services, and participate in school clubs. Thank you to the guardians that have filled out the consent forms. If you have not completed the forms you can find these forms within your Skyward Family Access. We appreciate your prompt attention to this important change. If you have any questions, please reach out.
Hello G.W. Bradford Families! Thank you to the guardians that have filled out the consent forms. If you have not completed the forms, this means that before school staff such as nurses or counselors can provide even simple care—like placing a bandage on a scrape, giving an over-the-counter medication, or assisting a student who is upset—we must have a signed consent form from a parent or guardian. The only exception is in the event of an emergency requiring life-saving care. Consent forms need to be submitted on Skyward today. An email with the link was sent to the guardian's email on file or you can log into Skyward Family Access. We appreciate your prompt attention to this important change. If you have any questions, please reach out. Thank you for helping us keep your child safe and supported at school!
