I cannot believe it is already time to begin preparing for our third annual “Friends and Family Thanksgiving Feast.” This year the district has designated November 1, 2018 as our feasting day. Due to the number of lunches being served on this day, we are asking any guests wanting to participate in our traditional FANS Thanksgiving feast, to complete the RSVP notification in advance.

As a reminder, the cost for the feast will be $3.75 for adults and $2.50 for students. All meals may be paid through your child’s lunch account or with cash/check. No credit or debit cards will be accepted. This meal will include: turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, green beans and pumpkin pie.
Please plan to arrive a few minutes early to receive your preprinted visitor’s badge (for those who are already in the visitor’s system) from the front office. All lunch times have been extended by 15 minutes, kindergarten extended 30 minutes, to accommodate the additional guests.

AIDING STUDENTS WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES
For those students who are having difficulty in the regular classroom, all school districts and open enrollment charter schools must consider tutorial, compensatory, and other academic or behavior support services that are available to all students, including a process based on Response to Intervention (RtI). The implementation of RtI has the potential to have a positive impact on the ability of districts and charter schools to meet the needs of all struggling students.
If a student is experiencing learning difficulties, his or her parent may contact the individual(s) listed in this linked document to learn about the school’s overall general education referral or screening system for support services. This system links students to a variety of support options, including making a referral for a special education evaluation or for a Section 504 evaluation to determine if the student needs specific aids, accommodations, or services. A parent may request an evaluation for special education or Section 504 services at any time.
