Communication Tools

White River School District offers a variety of tools to support open communication with our parents and community.

Family Access
Every parent/guardian has an account to view their child's student information such as attendance, schedule, lunch account balance and at MS and HS, their child's grades.
One Family Access account has the ability to view information for all children who live in a single household, regardless of grade level or school of attendance.
If you are unsure of your account information, please stop by your child's school office, with picture ID, so they can look up your username.

School Messenger
This is our parent notification system, which is used to notify you of student absences, upcoming events and emergency school closures.  We also use this program to send out email messages to parents who have an email listed in Family Access. 
In September of 2012, we will be adding a SMS Text Alert option for parents. For more information on how to sign up, read this document:
TIP: Family Access and School Messenger both send out automated email. Your email provider may tag this as SPAM. If you do not see our e-mail in your inbox, please check your spam or junk mailfolder before contacting us. Also add @whiteriver.wednet.edu to your approved sender list to insure timely receipt of all future communications.
