Beginning next week, our 8th grade students will be visiting the JA Discovery Center to participate in the Finance Park experience. This simulation experience is a wonderful opportunity for our students and is made possible because of the volunteers involved. Please consider volunteering by visiting this

Looking ahead, the Tiger Luau, our 6th grade social, is coming up on September 30th. Be sure to see the information below from PTSA to sign your child up to participate and to print/sign all the necessary forms.

Parents: Please take the time to set up a MyPaymentsPlus account for your student. It is a very important tool to have during the school year. The features include Meals & AutoPay, Student Account Management, Products & Events and Digital Forms. Not only will you be able to add money to the account for your child's lunch, but you can also pay for special activities during the year and also take care of signing documents and forms directly online.
If you have not done so, please complete all orientation agreements in MyPaymentsPlus. These agreements are MANDATORY and must be completed immediately. Please click on the link below to sign up!

Keep an eye on your account!
|
Don't forget to keep an eye on your child's breakfast/lunch account over at
MyPaymentsPlus. You can make life easier by setting up alerts when the balance runs low. Just look for the "Low Balance Notification" box, towards the top of the screen.
MPP also has a neat feature where you can use the "Auto Pay" button to automatically add a dollar amount of your choosing when your balance gets low.
