Dear Parents and Families,
I’m writing to let you know how important it is to fill out the school meal application form by downloading it below and returning it to school if you haven't already done so. I am encouraging all of our families to complete the form.
Some parents are concerned about listing income amounts and social security numbers on the application. Any personal information you provide will not be shared:
- Free and reduced price meal applications are confidential. Your information will only be used to determine your child’s eligibility for the school meal programs. We cannot share your information without your written permission.
- Students who receive free and reduced price meals are not identified. No other students, staff, or teachers need to know who is receiving free or reduced meals and who has paid. All children that choose to receive a meal at school go through the lunch line the exact same way.
There is one very important reason to fill out this form: The more families that file applications with our district, the greater the possibilities of increasing our funding, which equates to greater educational services to you and your children.
Please take a few minutes to fill out this form to help us determine whether your child may qualify for these important benefits.
Vision Statement
Excellence in all we do for our students, our schools and our community through
- Continuous improvement;

Parent Volunteer Training
Do you know the difference between a "visitor" to the school and a "volunteer"? Do you know if you need to be a volunteer in order to chaperone a field trip?
If you aren't certain of the correct answer to these questions and have always wanted to volunteer at school then please come and join us for a brief Parent Volunteer training.
