EOG Testing Continues
*It is important that your child gets a good night’s sleep and eats a healthy breakfast in the morning. Make sure all students arrive at school on time and note that our staff is limited to answering the front door throughout the day due to coverage for testing. We appreciate all of our parents that have volunteered and been cleared to assist us with proctoring.

All Students Will Receive Free School Meals For 2021-22 School Year
Breakfast and lunch will be available at no cost to students for the 2021-22 school year. While the district may be able to offer free meals to all students, it is very important for eligible parents to complete a meal benefits application because this data enables schools to obtain funding to provide other important educational resources to benefit students.
Other benefits that are issued directly to families that have applied and are eligible for meal benefits may also be available (such as the P-EBT cash benefit). Meal benefits applications for the 2021-22 school year will be available online at myschoolapps.com starting July 1, 2021. Paper applications will also be available at all schools. More: www.wcpss.net/free-reduced-meals.
