Lunch Numbers: Parents we encourage you to help your student learn his/her lunch number. This will ensure that our students can quickly get through the lunchline and have plenty of time to eat.

After School Activities: We are excited to provide our students with opportunities to enrich their school day with even more offerings! Registration, attendance, and good behavior are all crucial parts in allowing each student to have a successful experience! Students will always check into aftercare first. Instructors will pick up and drop off students to aftercare in the cafeteria. Aftercare registration, attendance, and checkout are mandatory. Aftercare costs $10.00 to register and is $6.00 per day that it is used in the afternoons. You will be charged the aftercare fee each day the student attends the afterschool activity.
