OBJH Family Newsletter

Dear Families of the Bay,

As we wrap up this school year, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your support and partnership. It has been a memorable and productive year, and we are proud of all our students' achievements.

As we head into summer, we encourage everyone to have a safe and responsible break. Take time to soak in the sunshine and enjoy each other's company. Remember to keep reading and exploring new interests together.

We look forward to welcoming you back in August, refreshed and ready for another great year.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Marshall and Ms. G

As we begin to plan for next year's bus routes, we want to ensure our families receive bus service that is efficient and meets the needs of the community.

To assist us in our review of bus routes, we would like you to confirm your student's spot on the bus for the 2024/25 school year by completing the survey form below no later than Wednesday, July 17, 2024, for each student needing bus transportation with the Shelton School District.

SUN Bucks (aka Summer EBT) is a new DSHS program that will provide qualified students with $120 to use to buy groceries while school is out for summer break. Students qualify for the program based on family income or if they already receive certain state benefits.

DSHS will be mailing cards to eligible families. Please make sure the district has a current address before June 14th.

Families who have not already filled out a Family Income Survey can do so through June 14th to show income-based qualification for SUN Bucks. Completed forms should be sent to your child’s school.

Please call the SUN Bucks Call Center with questions 1-833-543-3230, starting June 1st. More information can be found on the SUN Bucks webpage.

If you have any other questions, feel free to contact the Food Services Department at (360) 426-2533.

Are you in need of something? We can probably help! Our resource center has a clothing bank with clothing for all ages. All of the clothing is either new or laundered before entering the bank. A household item bank may also have what you need: bedding, small kitchen appliances, and more! The newest addition to the SFRC is the food bank and hygiene bank. If you are looking for a community connection, the SFRC can help you connect with the right resource.

Schedule and appointment to visit our resource center by contacting our schools family liaison: Isabel Castaneda | (360) 426-7991 ext. 15008 | cell (360) 545-2189
