Meal Accounts

As the end of the school year is quickly approaching, we are asking for your assistance in keeping all meal accounts loan free.  Per our School Food Service policies, all schools must end with a positive balance.  No accounts can have outstanding balances.

To assist in clearing all meal account loans, written notifications are sent home daily with students.

White notices = Accounts running low on funds

Blue notices = Accounts with negative balances. Please pay IMMEDIATELY.

Phone calls are also made to families when accounts are in the negative.

As of May 1, daily automated calls will be generated for all students with a negative meal account balance.

Please assist us and keep your child's meal accounts properly funded.

Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA) Parent Night

We held a Smarter Balanced Assessment parent night to share the shifts of instruction necessary with the Common Core State Standards.  Teachers shared with parents the rigor of instruction that is taking place in our classrooms to prepare all students to be College and Career ready.  Parents were able to see examples of the questions and performance tasks that students will be completing.
Thank to all of our teachers for developing this informative night for our parents.  Thank you also to all of our parents for continuing to partner with us as we prepare our students to be future leaders with important critical thinking and problem solving skills.
