It's Back to School time!

At City Schools, we are excited to welcome students into our classrooms for the 2023-24 school year. For most students, the first day of school will be Monday, August 28! To get all of our students and families prepared for the school year, we have a webpage dedicated to everything families need for this school year. All forms, documents, and a back to school checklist can be found on the Back to School webpage!

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.

To celebrate the launch, we created a master thread of back-to-school giveaways. Join the group to check it out!
