Conference Week is almost here! Our teachers will work long hours meeting with families in support of our students. To help keep their energy up, your PTO is asking for your help to provide breakfast and afternoon snacks.

You can bring your donations to the front office or drop them off in the car loop! Please let the front office know that your donation is for the PTO's Conference Week teacher refreshments.

We loved seeing everyone at Peter Piper Pizza for the first fundraiser of the year! We have such a wonderful community of parents and caregivers, school staff and teachers, and community members. Thank you for your support of your PTO and our school!

The application process is annual and every household must complete a new application every year within the first 30 operating days of school. Completing the Free and Reduced Lunch application helps far beyond providing free or low-cost meals. This form ensures continued funding to support all students in our school with:

• Funding for programs like the 21st Century Community Learning afterschool programs
• Reduced fees for sports and activities
• Increased state and Federal funding for supplies, equipment and resources
• Tutoring and before-and-after school programs 
• Funding and/or discounts for technology, internet access, wireless and network services 
• Free or reduced-price school meals, and more!
