SUN Bucks - Summer Food Program
Summer 2024 will be the first year for Indiana Sun Bucks, a new benefits program that provides families $120 for each eligible school-aged child to buy groceries when school is out. Most eligibile families will get these benefits automatically, but some parents will need to apply. This new program is available in addition to free meals that kids of all ages can get at summer meal sites in their communities. If you have any questions please call Kim Jarvis at 765-836-4851. The following link will take you to a brief explanation and the application. https://indianasunbucks.com/home

LATE START WEDNESDAYS
We will begin “Late Start Wednesdays” for the 2023-2024 school year beginning August 16, 2023. On those days, school will begin at 8:30 am in both buildings. This means that the buses will run 30 minutes later on Wednesday mornings. We will release at our normally scheduled time of 3:05 p.m.
Two-Hour Delay Protocol - In the event of a 2-hour delay on a Wednesday, “Late Start Wednesday” will be canceled.
PM E-Learning Day on Wednesday Protocol - “Late Start Wednesday” will NOT take place in conjunction with our already scheduled Wednesday PM E-Learning Days (August, 23, February 7, April 10). The school will run on time on those days and release at 11:40 a.m.
Early Drop-OFF - Students who do not ride the bus may be dropped off at 7:45 a.m. on Wednesday for a morning latchkey program. At this time there is no cost to this one-day morning latch key option.
If you have any questions about “Late Start Wednesday,” please reach out to Mrs. Wordinger (tracy.wordinger@brv.k12.in.us).
