Dental Screenings
A reminder for parents of children entering the following grades: Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 7th, and 10th. If your child had a dental exam after February 13, please get a note from the dentist for us. State regulations require documentation of dental exam, or your child will have to be screened at school. Please upload proof of a dental exam in your Parent Portal under section 3-3 Dental Health Information Waiver.
Free/Reduced Lunch Form
Free & Reduced applications are available in the Parent Portal under section 5-1 Acknowledgement & Consent. Please complete these forms as soon as possible. It typically takes about a day to process and determine status of an application. Free & Reduced applications must be completed at the start of every school year.
Lunch & Classroom Snack
Families can conveniently view lunch balances and make online payments through the Parent Portal under "Food Service and Fees." Instructions for setting up an account can be found HERE. If you prefer, you may also send lunch payments with your child to school, and our staff will deposit them into your family account.
For students in grades K–5, we also offer the option to purchase a daily classroom snack. To help ensure the safety of all students and accommodate food allergies, snacks from home are not permitted. Please note that classroom snack is a separate purchase from lunch and must be paid for separately. The cost is $37 per semester or $74 for the school year, and payments can be made through the Parent Portal under "Food Service and Fees."
Additional information about the elementary classroom snack program is available in the Parent Portal under Section 2-3: Elementary Classroom Snack.
