 FUNDRAISING: Consider the Annual Fund |
Have you read the Annual Fund letter Mr. Bass sent by email? Please take a moment to do so. This is one of the most important ways you can help our school offer the programs that makes it so great - the money goes directly to the school, is 100% tax deductible, and requires minimal volunteer hours. Our goal is 100% participation!

We are all gearing up for the 7th Annual FUN RUN!
DETAILS
WHAT: A healthy "FUN-Raiser" and one
WHEN: Sun, Oct 19th, 11am-2pm
WHERE: Balboa High School Track
THEME: This year's theme is "Kickin' it Old School". As we live through this amazing year of renovations and upgrades, this is our nod to the past for all of the years spent building the Miraloma community into the best elementary school in the Bay Area.
VOLUNTEER: Sign up to help on the day of the event with a number of very important jobs!
SEEKING FUN RUN SPONSORS - Promote Your Business by Supporting our School!
Are you or someone you know a Real Estate Agent, Painter, Contractor, Dentist, Yoga Teacher, or other wonderful Service Provider? The Miraloma FUN RUN is a great opportunity to promote a business to our community and beyond. Miralomans are fiercely loyal to those who support our school and community. Support our school and gain loyal customers!
The RUN t-shirt is the perfect vehicle to thank sponsors who have donated generously to our school. Help us support them and wear your RUN T-shirt proudly on October 19th!
NOTE:
This year, SIBLING MEDALS should be ordered prior to the RUN! (non-Miraloma sibs!)
**Big thanks to Kerry Doyle for designing this year's sweet logo!**

REMINDER:
Have You Received a Notification of School Meal Eligibility?
|
MISSING MONEY! Miraloma is missing out on free $$funding$$ for each student who did not turn in a completed school lunch form! Many families have turned in incomplete forms. It's not too late, you can still help us find this money!
If your family did not receive a "Notification of School Meal Eligibility" in the mail, please submit a free/reduced lunch application online as soon as possible!
Our target completion rate is 100%, as we receive funding for each completed application, regardless if you applied for free/reduced lunch or not.
|
REMINDER: Register for MealpayPlus for School Lunches |
|
You can pay for school lunches online via Mealpay Plus. To create a free account, you must have your child's student ID number, which can be found on the SFUSD acceptance letter and report cards. Register at www.mypaymentsplus.com.
|
REMINDER: New Birthday Policy at Miraloma
|
We believe that birthdays are a great time to celebrate the life of our students and their special day. It's a perfect opportunity to celebrate with friends and teachers while at school. Through our effort to create a space of equity, all birthdays will be celebrated during Morning Circle once a week in a large group format.
Families can support this by:
- Ensuring that your child attends Morning Circle on the Monday of their birthday week.
- Celebrating along with us at Morning Circle!
- Refraining from bringing treats during the school day and after school program.
- Being as inclusive as possible when planning off campus parties. (We know it is challenging to include everyone so we encourage you to speak with your student about using discretion and consideration for those that might not be participating.)
|
REMINDER: Our School Policies & Procedures Links |
NEW PARENTS/GUARDIANS + RETURNING PARENTS, TOO!
Please review these policies & procedures at Miraloma.
