The front office is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Feel free to stop by and fill out an application for the reduced lunch program.
As a friendly reminder to parents, please be aware that lunch or lunch money will need to be provided until the application is approved. If you applied last year, a new application needs to be filled out this year.
