REMINDER
iChat Reminders
Please note that the following information is shared each year during Open House as well as through building/classroom communications. That said, it bears repeating/reminding as we continue to run into issues with iChats.
- iChats are required for MOST school events, specifically those in classrooms.
- iChats do NOT carry over from year to year and must be redone each school year.
- If you are unsure if you have an iChat on file, Mrs. Kehoe & Mrs. Lavoie in our main office would be more than happy to check for you.
- We LOVE our family volunteers as they enrich the school experience for so many. However, we all need to do our part to ensure the safety of our children and this is a necessary measure to do so.

Completing the Application for Summer EBT and Education Benefits for Michigan School Meals Program may result in important resources for your student such as Summer EBT, fee waivers, and resources for classrooms! The Michigan School Meals program supplements the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program, meaning that parents of students who would otherwise be eligible for free or reduced meals should continue to submit applications for free or reduced meals for their students. Even though meals will be free this year, it is vitally important that parents who meet, or believe they may meet, the free and reduced income guidelines, submit an application to ensure maximum benefits for their students and the District. Some of these benefits include: athletics and activities discounts for student fees associated with participating in athletics and activities programs, SAT/ACT/AP test discounts for academic testing, college application discounts for college application fees, discounted internet access services, federal/state/local school funding for school budgets, Summer EBT.
