Frequently Asked Questions
Most commonly asked questions are listed here with answers and resource links.
Where do I find emergency and school closure information?
All parents and guardians will receive information via ParentSquare in the event of an emergency. Information will also be shared on the district’s website, through FlashAlert, and through Linn-Benton ALERT Emergency Notification System.
For more information about how we communicate with families in emergency situations, visit the school district’s Emergency and School Closure Notification page.
ParentSquare allows the District and your student’s school to do everything from sending out alerts by text and phone to sharing email messages with families.
- Parents/guardians will automatically be added to this communication system with the contact information provided at registration.
- Emergency alerts will always be sent by text or phone call.
- General announcements will also be sent via this system to your email address provided at registration. Emails may be viewed in your email inbox or in the ParentSquare app, once you have activated your account.
Where do I register my student for riding the bus?
Bus transportation is provided to and from school from designated stops within the school attendance area, as well as to the Boys and Girls Club after school. You can register your student(s) to ride the bus on the Student Transportation page on the district website.
Bus routes and schedules can also be found at the above link.
What if my student loses a personal belonging at the school?
A student’s belongings, such as jackets, sweaters, gloves, hats, and boots, should be marked with first and last names. Misplaced items are stored in the Lost & Found. Items that remain unclaimed are donated to charity at winter, spring, and summer breaks.
