Annual Student Verification
It's still summer... but it's also time to start getting ready for school!
This year, every family must verify students' information online - including updating all phone numbers, email addresses, and mailing addresses - through Campus Portal. This process, known as Annual Student Verification, will happen at the end of every summer and will replace paper forms. Annual student verification will ensure that we have accurate information for all students.
New Mobile App
City Schools has a new mobile app coming later this month!
The mobile app will give you access to upcoming dates, news about your school, and important notifications. It will also connect you to Campus Portal, where you can access your student’s grades, attendance, school calendar, school news, and more - all at the touch of your fingers.

City Neighbors students develop storytelling skills in Backpack Journalism program
“Our students deserve to have a voice, one that reaches not only their peers, but folks who may not see them otherwise,” explained City Neighbors Principal Cheyanne Zahrt. “This program gives them the tools they need to express themselves in an appropriate manner that can raise their voices far and wide.
