Pizza lunch volunteers needed

The success of this year’s Pizza Lunch will depend on parent volunteers stepping up to help on the day of the event (January 28). Depending on your interests, you can assist with our check-in table group greeting and providing tickets to guests or with our lunch helpers group serving meals. A variety of time slots are available, so volunteering will still allow you to enjoy the Pizza Lunch with your own kids. Click here to sign up now. Your generous gift of time is appreciated!

All incoming Kindergarten and Grade 7 students (current 6th grade students) are required to have a physical exam completed before the fall of 2026 school year. Exams must be between March 1, 2026 and August 1, 2026. As soon as the physical exam is completed, the paperwork can be turned in at school. There is a form on the website that may be used. Included on the form are immunization dates, a full physical exam, vision screening, hearing screening, and health history. Your child’s physician does not need to use our form, but he/she will need to include all of the same information. Vision screening is required for students entering Kindergarten. It is not technically required for students entering the 7th grade. However, if you ask for it to be completed during the visit, it will save your student some class time in the fall during school health screenings. Students’ physical exam forms and up-to-date immunization list must be turned in by August 1, 2026. Students will not be able to start school until these forms are turned in. Please see the link below for Nebraska immunization requirements and the health exam form. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out.
