Teacher Appreciation Week- THANKS

We would like to thank everyone who contributed to showing our staff appreciation last week. Our hearts were so warmed by the acts of love and appreciation. From flowers to cards to kind words to treats- we felt the love for sure!

Thanks to our incredible PTSO for spoiling our staff with a daily treat! We are so grateful for such an incredible community who pour into us, so we can keep pouring into these sweet students we serve.

Parenting with Eyes Wide Open

Lunch Menus and School Nutrition Information

Our school menus have a new look. They are linked here, so check them out!

A La Carte extras will be available for additional cost. You can pay for your child's lunch by sending in cash or check for your child to give the cafeteria. You can also use the online payment center to add money to your child's account. Lunch money is still added through the K-12 payment center. The online payment center is linked here.

Outside Food and Drink:

Students cannot have soft drinks or food from restaurants (unless it is in an unmarked container). This would apply also if a parent were bringing in food to have lunch with their child in the cafeteria.

PTSO Information

PTSO does so many wonderful things for our students and staff. We are in need of some new volunteers as we move into next year. If you've ever wondered how you can become a part of our awesome group or have the desire to begin volunteering, please come to the meeting on May 20th.
