How will I be notified if there is an emergency or inclement weather?

When you complete Parent Forms, you provide your contact information.
During the school year, your school(s) and the District will use this contact information for announcements, including inclement weather, emergency notifications, messages specific to your students(s), etc.

Once the school year is in progress, Parents/Guardians can update their contact information using the Guardian Update Tile located in the Parent Portal (my.cherrycreekschools.org).
