Outside Recess – Bundle Up!

As temperatures start to dip, please make sure your children are dressed for outdoor recess. As long as the wind chill is above 20 degrees, we’re heading outdoors. Hats, gloves, and coats are a must, especially when that chilly wind decides to make a surprise guest appearance! We love our fresh air, but we also love warm fingers and noses.

Lunch and School Fees: 

If you have not paid school fees this year, you may be eligible for free or reduced. Go to https://payschoolscentral.com/ and apply for free/reduced lunch AND school fees. You must also fill out the “Sharing Information with Other Programs” page to get school fees covered.

THIS MUST BE COMPLETED EACH YEAR. Income guidelines have changed, and you may qualify if you have not in the past. You will instantly get an email about your qualification status. If you need any help, please contact the office at 832-6700.
