Breakfast and Lunch Menus
Food Service Update
Food Service has some great news to share. We have been given the opportunity to move all students who qualify for reduced-price meals to free for the remainder of the year. This transition will begin on Monday, March 20. If your student currently receives reduced-priced meals, you do not to do anything to receive this additional benefit. If you think you may qualify for free or reduced meals, you can still apply. This link, https://lowell.familyportal.cloud/ allows you to access your students lunch account, as well as apply for benefits.
As always, if you have any questions please reach out to Brad Stinson at bstinson@lowellschools.com.
Whitecaps Info
We are participating in the Whitecaps Reading Club again this year. Your child(ren) should have received a ticket form. For every 15 minutes they read, they fill out a square. When the triangle is complete, fill out the ticket order form and send in to the office at school.
