Parent Pick up/ Drop Off Traffic Flow Pattern
Parent Pick-Up/Drop-Off Details
When students get to school in the morning, they will enter the doors at parent pick-up and walk through the school to their classrooms. Kinder and first grade will be able to enter their classroom from the exterior classroom door that is located in the front of our building (facing East) if you would like to walk them to that door.
The bus zone is in the front of the school. Family vehicles will not be permitted to use that location. Please stay out of the bus zone.
Thank you!

2022 - 2023 MEAL BENEFIT APPLICATIONS NOW AVAILABLE!!!
Applications are now being accepted for the 22-23 school year. This may qualify you for other benefits such as reduced fees and the P-EBT program.
Apply online at: www.myschoolapps.com
Did you know many federal, state and local funding sources for TSD schools are based on the number of students eligible for free or reduced school meals? When you apply for free and reduced meal services, your school is eligible for additional funding that is important to maintain valuable school programs and services for families.
And, in addition to meal benefits, families who qualify for free or reduced meals are also eligible for other benefits, including reduced or waived school fees, technology support and internet access, as well as assistance with costs for a number of school programs like athletics and before/after school extracurricular activities.
If you believe you may be eligible for Free and Reduced School Meals, it is important for you to complete the Nutritional Services application linked here. Staff from the Family/Community Engagement Team would be happy to help you with the application by phone, in an online meeting, or in person at the Family Center at Stansberry.
School Lunch Cost 22-23 School Year
ATTENTION: USDA waivers allowing free school meals for all students were not extended for the 2022-2023 school year. Paid meals return for those who do not qualify for meal benefits.
Elementary Student Lunch $3.00
MILK - a la carte $1.00
Every day we offer a hot lunch and a cold lunch choice. The hot lunch is considered the main lunch choice. A cold lunch is usually a PB&J or a meat and cheese sandwich.
