If you are interested in your child attending, please complete the linked form by July 12. Completion of this form does not guarantee a spot in the After School Program.

To help manage the crowds, we ask that students with last names beginning with the letters A-M visit from 4:00-5:30 and students with last names beginning with the letters N-Z visit from 5:30-7:00. If your child is a returning student, please make sure you have completed the existing student registration update prior to July 31. Enjoy your last weeks of summer!

Friday, May 3rd, will be the final day of this school year for which meals may be charged without a positive account balance to support the charged amount.
This is necessary to enable our Cafeteria Managers to assess their list of owed balances, notify households and close out the school year with zero negative balances.
Beginning Monday May 6th students will not be able to purchase meals without payment or an account balance to support the charge. Please put sufficient money on your child’s account or send payment with them for the purchase of meals. Positive balances on the final day rollover to the next school year OR you may request a refund by e-mail or in writing to the School Nutrition Director. Positive balances for graduating seniors or students leaving the district can also be donated to our Angel Fund. The Angel Fund consists of community donated funds and is used to help families needing assistance paying their child’s school meal account.
