Please bring lawn chairs and blankets as picnic tables will be limited. More information about specific lunch times for grade levels will be forthcoming. We look forward to seeing you at these fun events at each of our district sites!

Focus Groups
South Bay School District is initiating a process of creating a new strategic plan to guide the work of the district and focus efforts on the most important areas for the next 5 years. We invite you to contribute to the development of the strategic plan by attending focus groups. Focus groups will provide us with input that will shape the directions we take for years to come. In our conversations we will discuss:
- What are our strengths as a school district?
- What opportunities do we have to improve our service to our students, our staff, our families, and our larger community?
Parents: You can participate in one of four sessions:
- Monday, September 19, 8:00 am, Pine Hill
- Monday, September 19, 4:00 pm remote

Business/Community Members: You can participate in one of two sessions:

September Menus
Menus will be covered in two-week sections, due to supply chain issues. The kitchen wants to ensure that we are able to provide the meals that are on our menu, so planning for shorter time periods is necessary. Both South Bay and Pine Hill do not provide microwaves for students to use in the cafeteria, so please pack ready-to-eat meals.
**Remember school breakfast & lunch is free for ALL students, regardless of home income. **
