Free Breakfast and Lunch for all Students!

This year ALL students will have access to free breakfast and lunch, regardless of economic need. The free breakfast and lunch opportunity will expire for the 2022-23 year; families that may qualify for free/reduced lunch should still complete the application this year so that services are not disrupted when this program ends. Please the Food and Child Nutrition Services page for the Free & Reduced Meals Applications (or click here). Please take a moment to complete the application!

Student Absences

Carpenter Parents. If your child is out for any reason, please send a note back with your student the day they return. Our registrar asks that you include the following information: name, student ID, date of absence(s), the reason for the absence, then sign and date it. If your child had a medical appointment you may submit that note from them to her (Ms. Vallejo). Thank you for your assistance.
