Good afternoon Mustang Family. I wanted to take the time to send out some reminders and things to look for being sent home with your student in the coming days.
Lunch Program Determination letters and emails have been going home this week. If you completed a free and reduced lunch application for your student, then one day this week you should have received or will receive a determination email that notifies you of the status of your application. If your application was rejected and the lunch program type says none, then this means your student is a full paying student for lunch and breakfast. Lunch is $2.90 and breakfast is $2.25. If your application says it was approved, then you should see a program type of either free or reduced. If you student is free, then their meals are free and you do not need to send money in for their meal account. If it says reduced, then their lunch cost will be $0.40 and breakfast $0.30. Reduced students must still pay for their meals but as you can see the costs are must less. Be sure to log in to your Teacher Ease account to keep track of your students payments and charges. Determination letters are also sent home with students so be checking their backpacks for those as well. If you don't see one and have any questions please contact the office. If you did not complete a free and reduced application, you will not receive these letters and your student will be a full priced paying student. Remember, if you have a change in your household size or income you may re-apply at any time during the year.
Newsletters will go home each month. The September letter will be going home this week so please look for that. It will have the newsletter with important information and dates on one side and the complete breakfast and lunch menu for the month on the other side.
IMMUNIZATIONS! We are working on sending out notifications to students who have immunizations that still must be completed. Remember, it is a state statute that we are required to exclude students from school who do not have the required immunizations on file with us or a religious or medical exemption on file. If you have questions contact the office and if you have updated shot records please bring them to Nurse Christy.
We are off to a great start. Students are working hard and learning the routines of their class and the school. Go Mustangs!
