New Learning Tool IXL
EPASD is excited to report that our elementary and middle school students will be utilizing the new learning tool IXL this year! Information was sent via Blackboard over the summer, and an in-depth look at IXL can be found on our website by clicking below.
Free and Reduced Meal Applications
We would like to remind our families that the National School Lunch program requires annual renewal for participation in the program. Every year, a new Free/Reduced Meal Application must be completed for every student. The program allows for a 30-school day carryover period for approved students from the previous school year. The rollover period for the 2024 – 2025 school year ends on October 3, 2024. Any student not on the approved list for the current school year will switch to a full pay student for breakfast and lunch beginning on October 4, 2024. There are no exceptions to this date.
If you have already received an approval letter for the 2024 - 2025 school year, no further action is needed.
A renewal on the COMPASS website or an application must be completed for your student to participate in the Free/Reduced Meal program. Applications for Free and Reduced meals can be found on the school website. Click the website link to fill out an application online (COMPASS) or click→ Parents and Guardians→ Free and Reduced Meals. Please contact the business office at amcbride@epasd.org, if you have any questions.
