SAFETY FIRST for our JAGUAR FAMILY
"Oops Cart": There will be a cart outside of the front doors for parents to drop off any forgotten items from home. ie: water bottles, lunches, assignments, etc. There will be post it notes and pens for you to label your child's name and teacher on the item you're leaving for them. We hope this actually helps save you a little time too!
Requesting Access to Enter: Please push the button on our buzzer box to alert the office staff that you're requesting entry. Either Mrs. Booker or Mrs. Kirkham will come over the intercom to greet you before unlocking the doors. Thank you in advance for the grace, should you be asked the reason for your visit or who you're here to see. *All visitors will be required to enter through the front office and push the button to request access. We realize it may not feel the most welcoming to have to buzz for entry or share the reason for your visit, but please know that we are so thrilled to have parents and visitors back in the building! At the same time, we are committed to being diligent and consistent with these practices, for the sake of your child(ren) and our entire Jaguar Family.
Visitors other than Parents/Guardians: If you have a family member/guest coming for lunch or to pick up your child, please prepare them and share our new procedures. If we don't recognize someone, we will inquire about their name, ask for proof of ID, and potentially take a moment to verify through PowerSchool/parent contact.
Entry/Exit: All visitors will enter and then exit through the front office. Visitors will sign in, wear a visitor's badge, and sign out in the office before leaving. We appreciate everyone being consistent with this so that we can ensure all visitors are accounted for, particularly in an emergency situation.
Propped Door Alerts: The district has implemented a system that will send an alert for any door that has been propped open longer than a pre-determined period of time. This is just one more way that we are increasing our own awareness to ensure that our building is properly locked.
2022-23 LUNCH INFORMATION
On Tuesday, September 6th (as per the student handbook, lunch visitors are discouraged the first two weeks of school), we are open for lunch visitors again! If you plan on joining your child for lunch, please arrive a few minutes before their scheduled lunch time so we can notify the teacher to send your child to the office at lunch time. You and your child will enjoy lunch in the office conference room.
The waivers that allowed all students to receive free breakfast and lunches the past two years have ended. Please apply now, to ensure you qualify for Free or Reduced meals when school begins.
Only one application per household is needed.
Parents/guardians are strongly encouraged to complete the free and reduced meals application online. This can be completed on a computer, tablet, chrome book or cell phone. The application is available at the following link: https://www.myschoolapps.com/Application
Parents/guardians will be responsible for any breakfast and lunch charges incurred prior to being notified of the results of the application.
If you have any questions, contact Penny Ripley at the Nutrition Office 816-986-2204 or penny.ripley@lsr7.net
