Food Service Program - Important Changes
Every student enrolled in both virtual and face-to-face learning will now enjoy FREE breakfast and lunch regardless of income. Please remember to still fill out and turn in the free/reduced meal applications that were in the welcome back packets. These apps are also located in all school offices or online at hemlockps.com. Other district programs such as, Title 1 and 31A, are in association with meal benefits so this is very important to do.
Our menus are found online at hemlockps.com and paper copies are available in all school offices. You can find the online menus under the dining icon for each building site.
The Elementary and Ling students that are on campus choose whether they want a lunch and breakfast daily on a live Google document every morning with their teacher. At this time they also have the option to let their teacher know if they want to take home a breakfast and lunch for their virtual day. We then pass those meals out at the end of the day for them to take home. Middle and High School students come down to the cafeteria daily to get their meals. They also let their homeroom teacher know if they want to pick up meals at the end of the day for their remote learning.
Virtual students now have this option for their remote learning: Call (989)642-4700 or email tomasek@hemlockps.com by 9:00am on Wednesdays. Pick up for virtual meals will be Thursdays from 2:45pm-4:00pm. These meals will be distributed at Hemlock Middle School at door #29 in the side parking lot. When requesting meals please leave your last name and how many students you have in your household so when you pull up we will have your meals ready and labeled.
If you have any questions please feel free to email me at: tomasek@hemlockps.com or call (989)642-4700.
Respectfully,

LABOR DAY!
The first Monday of September is dedicated in honor of the American worker, it is also appropriately called the "workingman's holiday". The holiday is dedicated to you in respect and appreciation for the work you do in or outside of the home, union or non-union, big company, small companies, or government. As long as you work somewhere at something, this holiday is for you!
The first Labor Day was held celebrated in New York City on September 5, 1882 and was started by the Central Labor Union in New York City. In 1884, it was moved to the first Monday in September where it is celebrated today. Labor Day quickly became popular and one state after another voted it as a holiday. On June 28, 1894, the U.S. congress voted it a national holiday.
Labor Day is also viewed as the official end of summer. While the Fall Equinox is still a couple of weeks away, kids go back to school and summer vacations are over.
Many Labor Day traditions start with a day off, parades and one last picnic. It is also the date that many people close up the pool, and put away the boats. Enjoy your weekend!
