Do you have or know of someone who has a child who will be 5 before October 31, 2020? If so, it's time to REGISTER for KINDERGARTEN!

Kindergarten Registration for the 2020-2021 school year has no re-opened. Students currently attending one of our district preschool programs do not need to re-register. Appointments can be made through our website at https://www.sbschools.org/central_registration.

Please spread the word and tell your neighbors and friends! Although the 2020-2021 school year may seem far away, having our Kindergarten students register now helps us to better plan for them for the fall.

If your financial situation has changed, you may apply for Free and Reduced Breakfast and Lunch Benefits at any time. This is true even if you have applied before and been denied.

Free or Reduced Lunch applications can be found the the Parent Portal on GENESIS.

Parents, your child will be marked PRESENT if they are able to engage in REMOTE LEARNING each day. However, if your child is sick or otherwise unable to engage in REMOTE LEARNING, you must report them ABSENT either via GENESIS, by e-mail to the school secretary or leaving a message in your main office.
