Lunch Accounts
We are sorry, but we are not allowing students to charge lunches for the rest of the year as we must close out the books. This does not apply to students with money in their accounts. Please also pay any outstanding balances on lunch accounts. If you have a need, please contact me.
Medications
We would like to remind you to please pick up any medication that has been signed into the school clinic for your child. Medication should be picked up no later than 11:00 am on 5/28/26. Unclaimed medication and medical supplies will be disposed of after school is dismissed on the last day of the school year, May 28th. No medication may be kept or stored over the summer break. If you would like to avoid the end of the year rush, you may sign out non-urgent medication from the clinic any day between 7:00 am and 1:15 pm.
Yearbooks
Please remind your child to be very respectful as they sign yearbooks. Any derogatory/profane comments and/or pictures and any defacing of yearbooks will result in restitution for a new yearbook and a discipline referral. Please help us in reminding our students to be respectful of student’s yearbooks.
