11/2 - 11/11

Meal Accounts

Currently we send home low / negative meal balance slips, email reminders, and make phone calls for delinquent balances. Our school policy is to permit 1 meal loan per child ($2.50 for full meals, .40 cents for reduced meals).  For the past month, our daily average is 60 students with negative meal accounts totaling around $300. 
If you have not considered applying for free/reduced meals, please stop by the office to pick up an application or apply online at https://www.ezmealapp.com/. 
Parents who do not correct their debt and are unresponsive to phone calls and emails will be referred to the Army School Liaison Office.

Federal Impact Aid Forms are continuing to be collected.  We are still missing about 300 cards.  If you receive a card that is missing information please add the military unit or Co name/number, sign and date.  Thank you for your help in getting the cards back to us complete.


PCSing or moving off base?
Please fill out a release form in the office.  We ask for 2 weeks notice so that we have time to gather the records to make the release packet.
