CLOVIS, Calif. (KFSN) — The Clovis Unified School District is hoping a new program will allow for easier communication with parents. Starting this year, all students, their parents, and staff will have access to ParentSquare. “We’ve obviously had for years ways to communicate with our parents, but as a district, we’ve not been unified behind a single platform,” Avants said. Kelly Avants with the district says that’s why they are introducing ParentSquare. It’s available through a smartphone app or online. Similar to a social media platform, it allows the district, schools, teachers and coaches to communicate with parents through a post or direct message. The reason for the change came directly from parents themselves. “We have heard from our parents, they are overwhelmed with the amount of communication that it takes to stay up on all of that,” Avants said. Avants says getting everyone on board to use one application instead of multiple will hopefully make it easier for parents to stay up to date. The app allows parents to customize how they receive information — instantly or just once at the end of the

Only superstars in the building? Season 4 of “Only Murders In The Building” is chock full of big-name guest stars and at the show’s Hollywood premiere, we found out why everyone wants to be a part of this cast. “It is like a joyful spirit,” Selena Gomez told On The Red Carpet. “That was my nickname in high school,” Martin Short added. “It’s also his current nickname.’Oh, here comes joyful spirit,'” Steve Martin interjected. Yes, the show’s three main stars have jokes on set and off! The joy and fun of this set is why the A-list flocks to be on this series. Meryl Streep is back as Loretta Durkin. Jane Lynch returns as Sazz Pataki who, as we found out at the end of season three, is the murder victim this season. “She’s just pure, you know? That’s what I love about her. She’s just pure joy. She’s pure happiness. She’s a little oblivious. But, you know, she doesn’t have, like, a bad bone in her body. And we find that through the season two that she’s pretty, pretty upright character,” Lynch said. As

Friday, August 23, 2024 11:29PM Federal, state and local agencies gathered to offer security information and resources to faith-based organizations at People’s Church in Fresno. FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — Federal, state and local agencies gathered to offer security information and resources to faith-based organizations at People’s Church in Northeast Fresno on Friday. “We know houses of worship are vulnerable, they’re vulnerable to attack through terrorism and hate crimes,” said one guest speaker. Maricella Gutierrez was one of dozens who attended the event. She works for Divine Mercy Catholic Church in Clovis. She said the meeting has changed her perspective on safety. “I feel like things are a little bit different now. We have to be a little more proactive about our safety and the safety of our communities,” said Gutierrez. It’s a topic that is timely for faith leaders in the Valley. In October of last year, an employee at Temple Beth Israel in Northwest Fresno found one of the glass doors shattered. Then in May of this year, police made arrests for alleged vandalism, trespassing, and making threats to staff at the temple. Across

By JEFFREY COLLINS COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina has set a Sept. 20 date to put inmate Freddie Eugene Owens to death in what would be the state’s first execution in more than 13 years. South Carolina was once one of the busiest states for executions, but for years had had trouble obtaining lethal injection drugs due to pharmaceutical companies’ concerns that they would have to disclose that they had sold the drugs to officials. The state Legislature has since passed a law allowing officials to keep lethal injection drug suppliers secret and, in July, the state Supreme Court cleared the way to restart executions. Owens, who killed a store clerk in Greenville in 1997, will likely have the choice to die by lethal injection, electrocution or by the newly added option of a firing squad. A Utah inmate in 2010 was the last person to have been executed by a firing squad in the U.S., according to the nonprofit Death Penalty Information Center. The prisons director has five days to confirm that all three execution methods will be available. He must also give

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS It might feel like the presidential election is still a long way off. It’s not. There are just over 70 days until Election Day on Nov. 5, but major dates, events and political developments will make it fly by. Think about it this way: The stretch between now and then is about as long as summer break from school in most parts of the country. In just two weeks, Sept. 6, the first mail ballots get sent to voters. The first presidential debate is set for Sept. 10. Former President Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, is scheduled to be sentenced in his New York hush money case on Sept. 18. And early in-person voting will start as soon as Sept. 20 in some states. Here’s a look at why the calendar will move quickly now that the Democratic and Republican conventions are wrapped. Who’s ready to vote? The first batch of ballots typically sent out are ones to military and overseas voters. Under federal law, that must happen at least 45 days before an election — which this year is Sept.

SOLINGEN, Germany (AP) — Three people were killed and four were seriously wounded in an attack on Friday at a festival in the western German city of Solingen, police said. Police said that the perpetrator was on the run, German news agency dpa reported. It cited unidentified police sources as saying the weapon was believed to be a knife. The attack happened on a central square, the Fronhof. One of the festival organizers, Philipp Müller, appeared on stage and asked festivalgoers to “go calmly; please keep your eyes open, because unfortunately the perpetrator hasn’t been caught.” He said many people had been wounded by “a knifeman.” At least one helicopter was seen in the air, while many police and emergency vehicles with flashing blue lights were on the road and several streets were closed off. Mayor Tim Kurzbach said in a Facebook post that “this evening, we in Solingen are all in shock. We all wanted to celebrate our city’s anniversary together and now have dead and wounded to lament.” “It breaks my heart that an attack on our city happened,” he added. The local
