Jump with Jill is the world’s only rock & roll nutrition show. A professional production will be held at the Mineral Point Elementary School on March 8th. The program will transform nutrition education into a live concert. The Emmy-nominated program was created by a Registered Dietitian and musician named Jill. So you can be sure that your child’s experience will be engaging, entertaining, and educational. We know that advertising for unhealthy foods works to convince kids to build loyalty to foods that are bad for them. Jump with Jill uses those same tools – music, excitement, and characters – to make learning about health cool. They have performed the show 3,500 times for over a million kids across six countries. So there’s just one question… are you ready to rock?!

Lunch Express is a payment program that allows for online payments for school lunches. This is made possible by using e-funds.

The student ID number for e-funds is the "Other ID" in the general information of Skyward Family Access. This ID is located under your childs picture. Skyward Family Access is located under the "Quick links" tab on our school website .

The family number in e-funds is NOT the “Family ID” in Skyward, but is your “Phone” number in the contact information of Skyward Family Access (without area code or dashes). For example, if the families phone number in Skyward is (608) 987-1234, then the family number is 9871234.

As always, you are welcome to send meal payments to the office with your child. If you have any questions please call 987-0710.
