Reminder: Free and Reduced Lunch Program
In case you didn't see the announcements at the beginning of the year, Saint Michael School participates in the National School Lunch Program. That means that we provide lunch for students each day, and also that we offer the Free and Reduced Lunch Program.
You can apply for Free and Reduced Lunch Program at any point during the school year. If your financial situation has changed, or you forgot to apply at the beginning of the year: YOU STILL CAN!
Not only do these numbers help our families, but they also determine how much federal funding the school gets for Title I funds, which benefits many of our students. Please help yourselves, and our entire community, and apply today!
Walnut Street: Drop-off and Pick-up!
We understand that as SMS grows, the spaces at drop-off and pick-up become more scarce.
However, PLEASE do not use the rectory driveway or the driveway at AWR Associates across the street to help solve the problem.
Even if it's just for a "few minutes," AWR Associates has clients coming and going at all times: even during pick-up time. Please be conscientious and make sure the driveway(s) are free and clear at all times.
If you are having trouble finding space to park while you pick up your child(ren), please come and speak with us in the office! We are happy to help brainstorm better options with you.
Thank you all for your consideration!
