Cafeteria News NEW!
We strongly encourage parents/guardians to monitor their child’s meal account balance through Skyward. Maintaining a positive balance prevents your child from receiving an alternative meal.
Checks or cash can be sent to school with your child in a sealed envelope including their first and last name, room and lunch number.
Credit or debit payments can be made through Skyward E-funds by going to www.perryschools.org, locate “Parent Quick Jump” and click on the Lunch/Fee Payments link. This takes you directly to E-funds. Also note, you can set up automatic payments to your child’s account when funds reach a specified low balance.
If you believe your child may qualify for free or reduced price meals, we encourage you to fill out a free and reduced application at www.perryschools.org. Select the Skyward link, top right of the screen and login to your Family Access Account. You may also request a paper application.
We love to see our parents/guardians and grandparents having lunch with their children/grandchildren! Please note that if you are planning on having a school lunch with your child, we only accept cash or checks at our register. Adult lunches CANNOT be purchased from student funds. Mary Bryan DOES NOT ALLOW restaurant food to brought in when having lunch with your children. Thank you for your cooperation.
Please call Lisa Wright, Food Services Manager, at 317-789-2645 if you have any questions. Thank you.
Information from Mrs. Mandel, our Nurse
Please make sure your emergency contact numbers are updated in Skyward. It is optimal to list 4-6 (or more) contact numbers to be able to reach you/family member/friend in case of an emergency or student illness. If your numbers are not correct or you need to add more contacts please send a note in with your student name and classroom room # on the top. Then add the names and phone numbers as well as any numbers that are no longer a working number. Thank you for your cooperation.
Heather Mandel, RN School Nurse

Southport High School Riley Dance Marathon is a student-run organization that raises money for Riley Hospital for Children. Amongst our fundraising efforts we hold an annual “PUSH Day,” and it will take place on 4/10/19. We have had PUSH days the last two years and have successfully met our goal each year. In 2017 we raised over $5,000.00 in one day and in 2018 we raised over $8,000.00 in one day. This year, we hope to raise $15,000.00 all for the kids. If you wish to help us in this effort please visit this link: donate.rileykids.org/shsrdm19 to make a contribution!
