Family Vacation Forms
During the school year some families take vacations and ask that we excuse their children from school days. This is not a problem, however, we do have forms for the student, parents, teachers and administration to sign off on in order to help students understand the expectations of making up missed work. The forms can be found in the main office. Thanks for your help!
School Nutrition Program
Food & Nutrition Services is busy serving breakfast and lunch to our students daily. For those of you who have free or reduced lunches and have not filled out a new application this year, your benefits from last year have expired. Please complete an application prior to this date in order to avoid a lapse in meal benefits. Results of all benefits are mailed directly to your house and remain confidential. Not only do these benefits provide meals at a lower cost, but they allow us to provide a Summer Meals program and the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, among others. Please contact Caroline Trinder at 934-4461 ext 1239 with any questions about your child’s meal benefits status.
