We are using a new software program called CutTime to manage our communications & payments this year.
No username or password is needed to log-in to CutTime. Instead, click what CutTime calls the "Magic Link" at the bottom of your most recent text from us and complete a verification process.

Please note that students and guardians use a different spot to resend their Magic Link.
No problem! Contact Dr. Healy (mhealy@kjso.org) with your student's name, your cell phone number, and your email address she will get you set up.
