Hello Hay Families!
We are so excited to start the school year next week and have students back! Our staff has been hard at work to make sure we are prepared to welcome your children and that each child knows they are a valuable member of our community.

I look forward to meeting many of you at the Watermelon Welcome or as you drop off and pick up your students (please see our arrival and dismissal procedures below)! Kindergarten parents-please join me for some coffee after drop off on August 11th to take some deep breaths and enjoy the company of other families going through the same thing. I remember dropping off each of my children at Kindergarten and it is always bittersweet.

School Lunch Menus
Reminder- UNIVERSAL FREE MEALS HAVE EXPIRED FOR THE 22/23 SCHOOL YEAR. On August, 11, 2022, students will be charged for lunch unless they qualify for free or reduced-price meals. Breakfast will remain free. We are encouraging families to apply for meal benefits for the 2022–2023 school year (before August 11, 2022) to ensure negative balances do not accrue on students' accounts.
By applying and qualifying for free or reduced-price meals students will also be eligible for approved waived fees within the district. It also helps with district funding for student education and grant funding.
