Free/Reduced Forms- Last call
We are nearing the end of our Free/Reduced form contest. All families in PK-12 grade are encouraged to fill out the F/R application or "opt out" form that was sent home the first day of school. Those will be entered into the drawing for several Walmart gift cards. Only one application per family is needed.

Your message will be reviewed and shared with the staff member so they know their efforts were noticed and appreciated.

Reminder:
PEDs: Personal electronic devices (PEDs) are defined as any cell phones, radios, tape/cd players, MP3/iPods players, laptops, portable video games, smartwatches, etc. The inappropriate use of PEDs or other disruptive devices in school poses increasing risk of disruptions, bullying, criminal activity, and academic dishonesty. Please be sure to read the student handbook regarding policies on PEDs.
Items from home including toys, trading cards, squishies, NeeDoh's etc are not permitted. Items may be recovered from the PK-2 office in the event they are brought to school.
