Good Touch, Bad Touch- Child Abuse Council Presentation

Worlds Finest Chocolate Fundraiser Money Past Due Now

World's Finest Chocolate Fundraiser money is due. Please be sure to turn this in next week. If you have questions, please contact the office at 231-760-1700. We are still waiting on 80. This is $4800 we are missing. If you have not turned yours in, please do so, right away.

Winter Weather!

Winter weather is here!

Please be sure to send your students dressed for the winter weather. Students will be outside for recess unless it is raining or the "feels like" temperature is less than 10 degrees.

Students should wear winter coats, snowpants, boots, mittens, and hats. We recommend labeling winter items so if they are lost they are easy to identify ad return to the owner.

If your family needs assistance with winter gear, please contact the office at 231-760-1700.

Please complete the Orchard View Education Benefits Form!

We currently have 165 students who have not had a Education Benefits Form completed for the school year. There was a link to this in the forms for the school year and forms were available at the Back to School Block Party.

Not having these forms completed could impact our ability to provide free breakfast and lunch in the future. This report is critical in determining money that our district receives from State and Federal grant programs like Title 1A, At-risk, and Title IIA, etc. It is also necessary to determine families' Summer EBT eligibility.

Please click this link to complete the form if you have not already done so.
