PARENT DROP OFF AND PICK UP PROCEDURES
As a reminder, car riders are dropped off and picked up at the back of the building. During these times, adults should not be getting out of their cars. There are staff members available if your child needs assistance getting in and/or out of the car. We appreciate your help in keeping Earl students safe.
Free/Reduced Meal Program Grace Period Set to Expire
Was your child eligible for free or reduced-price meals during the 2023-2024 school year? The Federal Government provides a 30-day grace period at the beginning of every school year for participating families to submit their required annual renewal application. The grace period ends on Tuesday, October 8, 2024. Families that have not completed their application for 2024-2025 will be charged for lunches beginning on Wednesday, October 9th. If you’re still in need of this program and have not submitted your annual application, please visit www.schoolcafe.com as soon as possible.
Full details regarding the program, including Federal Income Guidelines and the 2024-2025 Homebound Letter, are included in the Food Services Information Packet for 2024-2025. https://secure.smore.com/n/ztpme
LUNCH SNACKS GRADES 3-5
We will be offering doubles and snacks to 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students after Labor Day. A double lunch costs $2.75 and that includes only the entrée. Students must have money in their account in order to purchase a double, even if they are free or reduced. The snacks listed below may not be available every day.
Snack prices are as follows
Cookie $ 1.00
Popcorn/chips $.85
Ice cream $1.00
Sm. Water $ .75
Capri sun $.85
Please note, that you can send a note/email to the cafeteria if you decide your child is not allowed to buy snacks. A note can be added to their account to prevent them from purchasing. You can also send a note if you decide they can only have 1 a week etc. But you must state what day they are allowed. For example, “Johnny can only purchase a snack on Friday” or “Johnny can purchase a snack on Tuesday and Thursday, etc. We can not answer a student if they ask whether or not they got a snack this week 😊
If you have any questions, please email or call me.
Thank You,
Marianne Merritt
