The waiver has been extended until December 31, 2020, or until the funding runs out. Please continue to fill out and send in your Free and Reduced Lunch Applications. The waiver is temporary and families who are categorized as reduced or full price will resume paying when the waiver expires. Have a great Labor Day Weekend!

If you buy Best Choice brand products or items with Box Tops, you can support our elementary students! Best Choice labels can be clipped and dropped off at the elementary office. Box Tops can be earned by scanning receipts into the Box Tops app (there are still a few items that have labels that can be clipped).
Parents of elementary students can collect labels/scan receipts and enter their child into a drawing for a prize.
The elementary uses funds earned from these programs to help provide rewards and materials for our students. Thank you for your support!
