From the Nurse
Welcome back to school! We are so excited to see your children again! The nurses in the district have been hard at work to prepare for this unusual school year. Please see the link below for some helpful information on Covid-19. This information is found on the “health services” link on the district home page.
I encourage families of children coming to school “in-person” to send in a box of tissues for your child to keep on his/her desk in school this year. This will eliminate the need for your child to circulate the room when needing a tissue.
As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns! I look forward to working with your children again this year.

Lunch
All students will receive free lunch through December 31, 2020
Students will have 2 choices for lunch in September. The menu is posted monthly on our SRS website and the District Site under School Nutrition: Click here
Lunches will be delivered at the end of the day to your child's classroom for them to take home on their appropriate day.
Remote Learners: In order to ensure your child receives lunches to take home or pick up, we must receive this form 24 hours in advance. LINK TO REMOTE LUNCH ORDER FORM. If you already have signed up, please do not duplicate another order.
Fully Remote students will be eligible to pick up five lunches on 9/21 and every Monday following. Parents will need to pick up between 10:45am and 11:00am at the cafeteria door.
- If your son or daughter is receiving remote meals and you wish to not receive them any longer or have any further questions regarding the free lunch program, please contact ntellier@mpsd.org.
Picture Day
Notices will be sent home with the students. A limited number of scholarships are available for any families in financial need.
