WELCOME TO BLACKBOARD CONNECT!
Wappingers CSD uses Blackboard Connect to communicate regarding attendance, delays and closings, upcoming events, and building- or district-wide emergencies. You receive your parent ID and password via email when you register your child in our District, and you may customize your notifications and add more contact details at any time.
You will automatically receive notifications based on the information you provided when you registered your child (home phone, cell phone, and email addresses). By default, the parent/guardian listed as the primary on your child's student record will receive text notifications as long as you provided a cell phone number.
To access Blackboard Connect, click https://wappingersschools.parentlink.net/main/login
FIRST-TIME LOGIN
