PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCES
FAMILY RESOURCES
We understand that families want to partner with the student's teacher to understand what extended learning can be done at home. We have created a link on our webpage to FAMILY RESOURCES. The site includes links to family guides, which include what is covered in each content area and grade. There are a variety of supports for families for math, literacy, and learning.

Cafeteria News
All Student breakfast and lunches are free again this year until 6/30/2022.
Milk by itself is an a la carte item and is not free. It is $.60. If a student brings a lunch from home and forgot a drink, they may purchase milk for .60 or filtered water is available in all cafeterias for them to fill up their water bottles.
If students bring their lunch from home they can supplement their lunch with free, healthy options. To qualify, students must select three of the five offered components, and one of those must be a fruit or vegetable. Please note, milk is not free by itself.
Pick 3 Free! Add a fruit, veggie and milk for FREE!
All students need their ID# and must enter their number into the POS system this year.
Grab n go meals will be available on early release days. More information to come.
