Fee Waver Application

Hello MHE Parents

We are strongly encouraging you to complete the fee waiver application form! If you are eligible you could possibly have this year's fees waived. Free status only applies to lunch fees UNLESS the parent properly completes the application and selects the “Share Information" option. You only had until June 30th to have last year's fees waived, unfortunately past/prior year fees can not be waived at this point. Please see Mrs. Yates in the front office if you have any questions.

Thank you!

Building Information

Student arrival is daily between 8:30am and 8:50am. MHE staff supervision is not available before 8:30am. Students that arrive after 8:50am will be marked tardy.
Y's Kids morning and after school care is available through Clippard YMCA (513-923-4466)
Please refrain from dropping your student off in the main parking lot between 8:30am - 8:50am. This lot is for bus drop off only.
If you plan on having your child eat school breakfast, please try to have them here closer to 8:30am. All students that arrive at school after 9am will be asked to get their breakfast from the cafeteria and report to their class to eat. TEACHING WILL BEGIN AT 9AM!
Please refrain from picking your student up in the main office between 3:15-3:45. Parent pick up is at the back gate using your car tag. The front lot is for bus loading only.
If you are in need of an updated car tag for the 26/27 school year, please see Mr. Smith in the main office. If you do not have a car tag, you must have a photo ID AND be listed in the student's file as authorized to pick up.
Breakfast and Lunch are both FREE this year! If however, you would like to have your child(ren)’s school instructional fees waived, you must submit an Educational Benefits or Household Income survey to determine fee waiver eligibility. You may complete the survey through the Infinite Campus parent portal.
Additional items can be purchased using funds that have been added to student accounts. (Snack/chip bags, ice cream, cookies, fruit-roll-ups, etc.) CASH IS NOT ACCEPTED IN THE CAFETERIA. Funds are ONLY to be used by the student whom the account belongs to. Students are not permitted to purchase items for classmates.
Please do not send your child in the morning with coffee drinks or breakfast items from fast food locations (McDonalds, Starbucks, Dunkin, etc.). Students do need to finish these things before coming into school and should not be bringing them to class or the cafeteria.
Please do not drop fast food off to students in the middle of the day. In the event of this, your child will be asked to eat in the office instead of with their class in the cafeteria.
