Students in District 196 will be provided breakfast and lunch at no cost during the 2021-22 school year due to a grant provided by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture.

If a student wishes to purchase an a la carte item or a second lunch, they must have money loaded into their meal account or have cash in hand.

Lifetouch Photographers will return on Monday, October 11 for school photos.

See counselors or Mr. Thompson if a student would still like to enroll in credit recovery!
