You should have received an email with instructions on what to do to set it up. * We are currently working on the ability to complete forms through the app. However, due to the late release of the app, this year your child will be bringing home important forms the 1st day to be completed and returned the first week of school. Sorry for the inconvenience as we navigate this new system. * This year milk is .25 a day or $1.25 for a week-long ticket. Juice/ water will be .50 or $2.50 a week. * The spend down account will be used as they have in the past for your child to easily order milk, juice, pizza, pretzels, or even field trip fees. I will closely monitor them and let you know when they reach about $10.00 remaining. * Supply fees are now due, please make payments in the office if you have not already done so. Lastly, as your students return, please welcome our new teachers- Mrs. Kilbane the kindergarten teacher, Miss McEldowney the 1st & 2nd grade teacher, and Mrs. Wiedenmann the 4-8 math/ 5-8 science teacher.
