If your student's Chromebook is damaged and you would like to submit an insurance claim, please do so in the Front Office no later than Friday, April 17th (please note that all submitted insurance forms must be approved by the insurance company; if the Chromebook is unable to be repaired by the insurance company, then you will be responsible for the cost to replace or repair).
Lunch Accounts: Students who have a negative balance of $10 or more on their lunch account effective Wednesday, April 1, 2015 will no longer be able to purchase a lunch from the school until their balance is paid. You are able to make payment in the Front Office or via the parent portal.
STAAR: During STAAR Testing, students will be provided sack lunches for school lunch. Please be sure to make note of these days for testing students will be eating their sack lunches, either bought from school or brought from home, in their classrooms. Students will NOT have microwave access on these days.
Also, during STAAR please help to make sure your child gets a good night sleep. The school will be providing a small breakfast for all students that are STAAR testing on the days their grade is testing.
Fundraiser:
We will have a second fundraiser beginning Monday, March 30th- Thursday, April 30th. The prizes will be as follows: For 1 box sold you will receive a $15 gift card. For 2 boxes sold, you will receive a $30 gift card and a free dress day pass. Therefore, if you sell 3 boxes, you will receive a $45 gift card and 1 free dress day pass. If you sell 4 boxes, you will receive a $60 gift card and 2 free dress passes. Please help support this fundraiser as all funds received goes back to the students for different school activities.
