CHANGES IN SCHOOL MEALS / FREE LUNCHES FOR ALL HAS ENDED
There are changes in school meals this year that parents must understand! During COVID, we were able to serve ALL kids free meals, but those options have now expired. For lunches, families will have to do what they did before COVID. Parents MUST complete applications and use family income to qualify kids for free or reduced-price meals. Here is the link to this application that can be done on a computer (but not a phone or tablet due to security issues) - - https://schoolmealsapp.ksde.org/Home/welcome/D0310
The only people who do not need to fill out this form are those who know that they are already on the paid-meal status. If you’re not sure, the attached document will show you the family income guidelines for free meals, as well as provide more information. Questions? Call the District Office at 620-596-2152.
Attention parents of MS girls planning to play volleyball! We will be having an informational parent meeting on Tuesday, August 16 at 6:00 pm in the Cafeteria. This is right before back to school night. If your daughter plans to play you need to be at this meeting. Thank you!
