FAQ
If you have a question about our school, our FAQ page is the best place to find the answer. We've provided answers to the questions we hear most frequently. If you don't find what you need here, we're always happy to answer your questions personally. Just give us a call!
Does your school offer breakfast and lunch?
We operate an excellent nutrition program at each campus. Our cafeterias serve breakfast and lunch every school day for a reasonable price. We also participate in the federal free and reduced price lunch program for those who qualify. For more information or to apply for free/reduced meals, please see our district Food Services page.
What if my child requires medication during the school day?
We will administer medication in accordance with state regulations and with physician and parental approval. Please complete our medication authorization form (which can be found on our district Health Services page), and bring medications in the original, labeled packaging to the front office.
Do you provide transportation services?
We are pleased to provide our students with safe, reliable transportation to and from school each day. We consider bus riding a privilege and expect all students to adhere to the rules for their own safety as well as for the safety of others. For information on bus policies, schedules, and routes, please visit our district Transportation page.
What is Skyward and how do I get a username and password to use it?
Skyward is just another way we keep communication between home and school strong. It provides you with almost real-time access to your child’s grades, attendance history, and other important information. To receive your log-in information, please call the front office.
