Students may wear fall / festive Out-Of-Uniform with accessories on Tuesday, October 31. No masks. Anything that is distracting from instruction should be removed while in class but can be worn outside. Happy Halloween!

Yesterday, we hosted almost 100 people at our annual Open House. Many thanks to our Home and School volunteers as well as the parent of two St. George alums who volunteered to guide tours throughout our campus. We were also blessed to have many St. George Middle School students assist with the tours, and they were able to share their insights from a student's perspective. Special shoutout to Mrs. Inka Mims with Inka's Uniforms who attended with a display of our uniforms.

Last Friday, the faculty and staff enjoyed delicious treats and iced coffee in the lounge to celebrate our fall pep rally.  Many thanks to everyone from the baker’s committee who donated items for the treats and the iced coffee.

We are excited to extend this invitation to our school parents, but due to limited space, only one parent visitor can attend per quarter and the following guidelines must be adhered to so we can accommodate all parents who wish to eat lunch in the cafeteria.



Parents who wish to eat lunch with their child must:

• Sign up on the Sign-Up Genius before Monday at 12:00 noon.
• Only those parents who have signed up are allowed to visit the cafeteria.
• Due to space, one parent visitor is allowed per quarter. Please do not sign up for more than one visit per quarter as this blocks other parents from signing up.
• When signing up, include whether you will purchase a plate lunch from the cafeteria or bring something from home so the cafeteria can plan accordingly.
• If you are not purchasing a cafeteria lunch and are bringing food into the cafeteria, the Child Nutrition Program does not allow food that is wrapped or marked with commercial/fast food labels in the cafeteria.
• For safety reasons, siblings are not allowed.
• Because this is a special time for parents to be with their child, parents and their child will eat together at the designated visitors’ tables/spaces. Other students must stay in their regular seat assignments.
• Upon arrival, parents should sign in at the school office and receive a visitors pass. Parents should walk directly to the cafeteria when their child’s lunch time begins. When lunch is over, parents should walk directly to the office and sign out.
• Parents should not follow students to the classroom or activities after lunch.
• For the privacy and safety of students, cell phones are not allowed to be used on campus for personal reasons. You can take a picture with your child, but it must be outside or without other students in the background. Please enjoy this cell-phone free time with your child.

We hope you enjoy this time together with your child and appreciate your cooperation and willingness to follow the guidelines above.

Lunch price - $ 6.30 (check only) - no lunch charges for parents that forgot their checks at home

We would like to encourage parents to make lunch accounts, https://www.myschoolbucks.com/, so that they can see what their children are buying in the cafeteria every day.
