Dear Disney Families,

This month, our Word of the Month is Gratitude. We are encouraging students to recognize and appreciate the kindness of others, and we invite you to join us in reinforcing this important value at home.

We are also excited for our Valentine’s Day celebrations on February 14th! If you plan to attend, please sign up using the link below so we can plan accordingly.

Looking ahead, we are preparing for Grandparents' Day on March 7th, a wonderful event where we celebrate the special role grandparents play in our students’ lives. We are also hosting our Book Fair during this time and are in need of volunteers to help make it a success. If you are available to assist, please sign up using the link below.

Thank you for your support and involvement. We appreciate you!

As a district, we are challenging families to read 417 pages together by the end of the quarter. We would love to have you share pictures of your success using the #spsreadtosucceed. The district will be providing each student with a bookmark to encourage children to read with their families.

• Third quarter “Read 417” challenge - Read 417 minutes before spring break. Bookmarks for tracking will be delivered to sites.

• #SPSreadtosucceed

We want to help you celebrate your child's birthday this year in style. As a reminder, NO FOOD ITEMS MAY BE BROUGHT FOR STUDENTS TO CELEBRATE BIRTHDAYS. FOOD ITEMS WILL BE TURNED AWAY AT THE OFFICE. NO EXCEPTIONS.

HOWEVER, we know birthdays are special. You can purchase a birthday message to your child to be displayed on our Disney marquee for $5. If you use the Google link below, it will walk you through how to celebrate your child!

1. All requests MUST be complete and paid for by the 25th of each month! So, if your child has an October birthday, please submit forms and payment by September 25th!

2. If your child's birthday was in August or over the summer, no worries! We are happy to celebrate a 1/2 birthday! If you prefer to celebrate on their actual birthday, Ms. Shayla will be here all summer and we would be happy to run their birthday wish in the summer months, as well.

Please complete the Google Form HERE. The link to the MySchoolBucks Payment Center is located within the Google Form. If you have any questions, please call the office.

We have so many volunteer opportunities at Disney right now! Please look to see how you can help!

Sometimes our visitor versus volunteer process is a little messy. Please use the link below to help you understand what is needed to complete the Volunteer Process as well as what constitutes as volunteering.

VOLUNTEER FAQ

Breakfast and lunch is available for all students. We HIGHLY encourage ALL families to take the time to complete the Free and Reduced Lunch form. We understand many families feel they may not qualify, but it does provide information for the state regarding our families' needs in our area. The federal and state education department provide funding based on these numbers. Although it seems cumbersome, we ask that you continue to help Disney receive the appropriate amount of funding per student by completing this form. Application for Free/Reduced Meals HERE

Meal Prices & Payment Options

Breakfast, lunch prices can be found on www.sps.org under the Parents/Guardians tab, then choose Nutrition. The menu choices are found on the right. This is also where students can view lunch menus and parents can make payments.
