Blue Heron Elementary Campus Announcements
Welcome to our new website!
We hope our new website is an effective resource for our families and staff to find the information they need most. Here are a few tips and highlights as you explore our new site:
- Blue Heron Elementary and each campus now have separate websites from the district! Navigate to each of the campus sites by clicking on the Schools dropdown menu in the top right corner.
- Navigation is a little different than our previous site. Click on the three stacked lines in the upper right-hand corner to view the main navigation. This will be consistent whether you’re on a desktop or your mobile device so your navigation experience will be seamless.
- Each school has its own Parent Hub, Student Hub and Staff Hub which are intended to be a one-stop-shop for all of your go-to needs. You can look for important updates and announcements from Blue Heron here, so be sure to bookmark the Hub page relevant to you!
