Message from Mrs. MacGregor
Dear Valerius Students and Families,
I want to let you know that I have accepted a counseling position at Rolling Green Elementary for the 22-23 school year. This was a difficult decision as I love all the Valerius students and families and have enjoyed getting to know all of you over the past nine years. I am extremely grateful for the time we have spent together and the relationships that have been so important to me. Rolling Green is our year-round school so I look forward to visiting on our breaks to stay in touch with my Valerius students. Valerius will always hold a special place in my heart!
Take care and thank you for sharing in so many memories!
Free Meals for All Students Ends With the 2021-2022 School Year
When the 2021-2022 school year ends, so do free meals for every student.
While the federal government funded a program that allowed all students access to free meals during the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress recently declined to continue funding this program. This means all families will need to carry a positive balance in their children’s school meal accounts when school begins next fall.
If your student qualifies for free or reduced meals, they can still receive them next year, click HERE for more information about how to make that happen.
To learn more about applying for free or reduced meals, please visit the Nutrition Services website.
For assistance in completing the application or for questions, please contact the Nutrition Department at 515-457-6911.
The Urbandale Community School District is an equal opportunity provider.
2022-23 Student Registrations Opened April 1st - REGISTER TODAY!
