YUHSD offers tips and useful resources for successful school year

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The Yuma Union High School District (YUHSD) is reminding families and students about key resources available to help ensure a successful school year.

One of those tools is Paper.co, a 24/7 online tutoring platform where students can get live academic support at any time.

There's also Parentsquare and Studentsquare, communication apps which allows parents, guardians and students to connect directly with teachers and school staff for announcements, questions and important updates.

YUHSD says taking just a few moments to use these tools can make a big difference in a student's success.

"Making our students even more alert and savvy about about technology is really how we're arming our students to be prepared for their next steps," said Bibi Frazine, Director of Educational Technologies at YUHSD.

"And the parent involvement in that education even though they're, you know, teenagers and sometimes in some cases, as seniors...adults...it's still crucially important for that village to help you know get that student to their their last step of being college career and community ready when they graduate," said Eric Patten, Chief Communications Officer at YUHSD.

The district is also promoting its Anonymous Alerts System, a confidential way for students or others to report issues like bullying or safety concerns without fear or discomfort.
