Teacher/Mentor Welcome Email – DID YOU RECEIVE ONE, YET?

If you have not received a “welcome” email from a teacher or mentor (please check your junk/spam =), please reach out so we can get you connected.

BREAKFAST INFORMATION

We will again be serving breakfast this year, but the Covid Free breakfast/lunch grant is no longer available. If your family qualifies, breakfast and lunch are free/reduced as in the past. Not sure if you qualify? Fill out an application at lunchapp.com to find out!

Breakfast will be $1.75 for those that do not qualify. While there will be some packaged items, similar to last year (muffins, cereal, granola bars, etc), it will also incorporate more fresh fruit and hot food twice a week. Students will go through the breakfast line (in the hot lunch service area), if they wish and then walk over to the tables in the lobby to eat before heading outside for morning recess.

AUGUST LUNCH MENU

SETTING UP A HOT LUNCH/BREAKFAST ACCOUNT FOR YOUR STUDENT

If your student plans to participate in onsite opportunities on campus (blended program or Re:Fuel), they may order a hot lunch or bring one from home. For high school students, we do have an open campus and they are allowed to also grab something from a nearby restaurant. As a reminder we will return to paying for hot lunches and breakfasts this year.  What does that mean for my students?

There will be no more FREE  breakfasts and lunches, unless your family qualifies.

Parking Lot

GREAT news! Both of our parking lots are being redone this summer! Unfortunately, they will not be finished prior to the start of school beginning on August 3rd. We are working on alternate plans for visiting the building for the first few weeks we are in school. We appreciate your patience, in advance.
