Overview

The district issues a rapid call for emergencies, unusual circumstances and weather delays and closings, which notifies parents and guardians via phone, text and email.

Please keep your information up to date with your building secretaries. We do not encourage families to opt-out of the rapid call, as we use it sparingly. However, if you have a concern about receiving calls, please contact the Director of Communications at 724-625-7773, ext. 6202.

When you log in to the Sapphire Community Web Portal with a parent account, you will see your child's information including contacts, mailing addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, schedules, report cards and attendance. Everything is in one place and right at your fingertips. 

We have added the convenience of completing student data verification directly from your account. In addition, you can also choose which phone numbers will receive a rapid call.
