Be alert for scammers this fall!

This back-to-school season, criminals may impersonate school officials and claim there's an unpaid fee, an emergency involving your child, or that they need personal information immediately.

Before responding, contact the school using a phone number you already know is legitimate. One quick call can stop the scam.
