2022-2023 Application for Waiver of Confidentiality and School Fees
**When the 2021-2022 school year ended, so did free meals for every student. While the federal government funded a program that allowed all students access to free meals during the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress declined to continue funding this program. This means all families will need to carry a positive balance in their children’s school meal accounts when school begins.
First Home Football Game this Friday!
Message that will be shared with students this week:
Urbandale hosts Bettendorf in Football on Friday, August 26 at Frerichs Field at 7:00pm. All tickets must be purchased online at www.j-hawks.com/tickets. Come support the J-Hawks, but remember to sit in your seat and cheer the J-Hawks on to victory. Please leave your footballs at home and remember, once you leave the game, you may not come back.
