Guidelines for Christmas Assistance Application
School Start TimeThe doors to the school will be open to students at 7:40 am each day. They will be dismissed beginning at 2:30pm. There will not be Success Period this year. No Student Half DaysIn the past, school has been dismissed at noon on six different days to provide for teacher training. The Department of Education has removed this option for schools for the 2009-2010 school year and beyond. All student days this year will be full days. Inclement weather would be the only factor that could bring about an early dismissal or delayed beginning of school. Cafeteria InformationThe daily cost for student lunch is $1.95. Extra milk will cost an additional $.40. Breakfast is available at a cost of $1.20. The cost of a full week of school lunches will be $9.95.

Payment should be placed in an envelope with the student's name, grade level and teacher's name. On Line Trash Bag Ordering
