Today was a wonderful day for apple picking at Garwood's Farm! We saw a lot of interest from parents, and while we had to limit the bus, this morning we had families not show up and not notify anyone. In the future, it would be helpful to let organizers of school events know if you can't attend. It was such a lovely day at the orchards, and we’d love to have even more families on the free bus next time!

Dear Jungman Families:

The last day for Quarter 1 is Friday, October 25. Families who registered their children to participate in the Tuition-based aftercare program for Quarter 1 and would like their child to continue to participate in the Tuition-based program for Quarter 2 will need to resubmit an application. Quarter 2 begins on Monday, October 28.

Please carefully review the Quarter 2 Tuition-based aftercare application for program details with a summary of the details in the image below.
