Free Meals and Title 1 Funding (Reminder)
Additionally, our school also benefits from federal Title 1 funding based on the number of eligible free and reduced lunch students. Last year our school received over $200,000 dollars. This year, our students will be receiving free fruit because of this status. Therefore, please sign up if you have not already. Our goal is to make sure every parent fills out an application. Please complete by September 15th.
Parents on Campus (Reminder)
As a reminder, parents are not allowed on campus in the mornings to drop off their child by their classroom(s). However, parents are welcome to come onto to campus 5 minutes before the dismissal bell rings (2:00pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday; 1:10pm on Wednesday). When you come on campus in the afternoon, please do not block the walkway and wear your mask.
Breakfast Times (Reminder)
In the mornings, our breakfast line will close at 7:45am. If your child(ren) will be eating in the mornings, please ensure they are on campus before this time.
