SCHOOL SUPPLIES & PTO SUPPLY KITS
Please refer to the School Supply Lists when purchasing back to school supplies. When it states headphones or headsets, all our K-5th grade students will have iPads so the headphones need to be compatible with an iPad (and not earbuds). They should be the 3.5 mm headphone jack.
NOTE: If families ordered school supply kits through the PTO to be delivered to school, these will be at the students classroom on the first day of school.

FREE/REDUCED LUNCH APPLICATION
We know that a common experience for many families during this health crisis is the loss of jobs and income. This change in income may qualify your children for free or reduced-price meals and reduced or waived school fees. We encourage all families who currently qualify to take a few minutes to complete the application as soon as possible. Information regarding food service and to access the application can be found here.
If you have any questions, please email the district's food service coordinator, Carla Ellis, at cellis@op97.org.
