STUDENT MEAL INCREASE FOR 2008-2009
The 2008-2009 student meal prices will be increased for the next
school year to $2.75 per lunch. The increase was approved by the
Board of Education at the April 8th school board meeting.

Please take a moment and search under the beds and on student's
bookshelves for any overdue books from the library or lost classroom
textbooks. You will be receiving a notification from Mrs. Gallatin
regarding any books that have not been returned. If your child
cannot find the book, they will be charged for the lost book.
Books are very expensive and we cannot afford to absorb the cost
of lost or destroyed books. Students will not receive a report card
until all library charges are paid. If the book is found after you
have paid, your money will be refunded. Thank you for your understanding
regarding this matter.
If you have any extra empty egg cartons at home, please bring them to
the office or the art room.

student returns, if space is available at his or her school, the student
will be reinstated. If no space is available, the student will be
assigned to another school in the district where space is available.
If the student is ill, parents must notify the school of the absence
and provide documentation.
