Friendly Reminders & Resources
* For families of Car Riders, please make sure to pull all the way up to the end of the gym and the school staff will help bring your student(s) to your car. We will make every attempt to load students sidewalk-to-sidewalk (from the end of the playground to the end of the gym).
* Breakfast is not served at school, so please be sure to have your child order their breakfast from their teacher each morning for the next day. Or, parents can utilize LINQ to order both breakfast and lunch for your students.
* Please make sure that your student(s) bring a water bottle with them to school each day! The water fountains remain non-functional, but the water bottle re-fill stations are open. As the weather becomes warmer, students need even more water during the school day.
* If your student(s) borrowed a Chromebook from the school and you have not already returned this, please return the Chromebook (along with the charger) as quickly as possible after Spring Break. Thank you!
* Spring Break is March 29th - April 2nd! We look forward to seeing all of our students again on Monday, April 5th!!
* Upcoming FREE Mobile Produce Markets: The Columbus Recreation and Parks Department is pleased to announce the schedule for this year’s Free Mobile Produce Markets. Visit https://www.golunch.club/ for all the details!
Have a wonderful Spring Break!
Thank You,

Families that qualify for Free or Reduced Lunch, please read (P-EBT cards)
Some of you may have already received a P-EBT card last spring and fall (P-EBT: Pandemic - Electronic Benefit Transfer). These are like SNAP ("food stamp") cards that can be used at any grocery for food. The latest card value may be as much as $350 per child for each school aged child. These cards are automatically mailed to families who qualify for Free & Reduced Lunch from the Ohio Department of Job & Family Services (ODJFS), using addresses that are automatically uploaded from school districts.
This is not a school program, but we want to be sure families recognize this mailing and know how to use it. Please note that unlike many public assistance programs, a SS# is NOT required for eligibility. A child's 4 digit year of birth can be used instead of the last 4 digits of SS# when activating.
P-EBT cards have been mailed recently, or will be soon, from ODJFS. Families: DO NOT THROW OUT THIS MAILING! Be sure to save the card as well because more funds may be added in the coming months!
