FREE OR REDUCED-PRICE MEALS APPLICATION

IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT FREE AND REDUCED MEALS

Although school meals are now free to all students under California’s new Universal Meals Program, the application for free and reduced-price meals is still very important. School funding depends in part on the number of students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals. With all students now eating for free, fewer families are completing the application and schools are at risk of losing funds. Household income information is confidential and applying online is quick and easy. Plus, students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals may also qualify for discounts on transportation, ESS, SAT and AP tests, home internet, and college application fees. Apply online at MySchoolApps.com, or pick up a paper application in the school office.

DADS Movie Night

DADS Movie Night is Friday, October 14. We'll be showing Rio under the stars on the back playground. Families are invited to begin seating at 6 PM with the movie starting around 7 PM when it's dark. Please watch the weather forecast and dress accordingly and bring jackets or blankets to stay warm. We will be on the blacktop so chairs are recommended. Movie snacks including popcorn, nachos, and cotton candy will be served. You are welcome to bring your own food and drink. Movie Night, including snacks, is free to all Park Village Elementary students and their families. All students should be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

If you're interested in volunteering to help to make this an awesome event, whether it's purchasing food prior, set up, or serving snacks, see the sign-up link below or contact the DADS at PVESDADS1@gmail.com. Dads, moms, older siblings, or high school students needing volunteer hours are all welcome.
