Slate Ridge Monthly Newsletter
August 2022
Welcome!
We are so excited to begin our school year together! Our teachers are preparing to welcome their students with open arms and high excitement to dive back into fostering a community of scholars who are innovative, kind, helpful, collaborative, and respectful. Until we officially meet our students in-person at Open House, we wanted to send out some information as you prepare to send your child to school.
I am a Slate Ridge Toucan and I am Respectful, Responsible, and Ready!

Breakfast & Lunch Accounts
How do I add money to my child's account?
Two Options:
Go to www.payschoolscentral.com to add money to your child’s account using a debit or credit card.
Write your child’s name on an envelope, enclose cash or checks and send it with them to turn in first thing in the morning at the beginning of the school day.
Costs:
$1.50 Breakfast
$2.75 K-4 Lunch
Reduced Costs:
$0.40 K-4 Lunch
How do I apply for Free and Reduced Lunch?
Go to www.PayschoolsCentral.com. You will have to click the Register link.
Once your account is set up, you will need to know the six digit Student ID number for each child on the application. This ID number is found in Power School under your parent portal log-in. Additionally, many of the students know their ID number and may be able to provide that to you. If you are unable to locate this ID number through one of the methods listed, please feel free to call your child’s school or the Food Service office at 614-501-1211.
