Due to changes in Health Code policies, Miss Janice (JP Foods) will not be able to provide Emergency Lunches if she is notified after 9am of the day. You will have to call or text her directly before 9am to let her know your child will require an emergency lunch. If it is after 9am, you will need to either drop off a lunch for your child or make other accommodations to get your child a lunch for that day.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but it is unfortunately our of our hands at this point.

Parking After School
First and foremost, we'd like to thank you in advance for your patience at pick-up time in the afternoon. We are currently in the middle of both middle school basketball season and NFL Flag Football seasons. We kindly remind you to refrain from parking in handicap parking spots without the appropriate placards, and to avoid double parking in the fire lanes during high volume times.
Respecting handicap parking spaces is essential to accommodate those with mobility challenges. Using these spots without the appropriate placards not only hinders accessibility but is also against the law.
Additionally, double parking in fire lanes poses a serious safety risk, especially during busy periods. In case the designated parking areas are full, we recommend utilizing street parking or parking at the church next door.
Dress Code Reminders
-With the cool morning and afternoon temperatures, please make sure your child has their VAP outerwear. Additionally, now is the time to make sure that your child is meeting all dress code requirements including shoes, belts, outerwear, and haircuts and personal jewelry.
Tuition
Tuition is due on the first of each month. Please make sure your ALMA account is updated. If you have any questions or require any assistance, please stop by the office.
