What is the homework this week?

and space for communication. Also there is a folder which will

free for those who qualify for free lunch.
How much is hot lunch?
Hot lunch is $1.80 per day. Reduced/Free lunch applications
were sent home the first day of school. You may reapply any time
during the school year. Reduced lunch is $.40 per day. You can
ask me for anapplication any time.
When do I send in lunch money?
Lunch money can be paid at any time. Place lunch $ in an
envelope with child's name, 4V, and amount of money paid. When
your child chooses hot lunch with their lunch card, the money is
deducted from their account. If you pay $50.00, you will be
credited for $55.00.
What if I need to change my child's after school transportation?
Send a note with your child's full name, 4V, the way they will be
going home, and the way they usually go home. Example: My son Bob
Parks in class 4V will be picked up by Sue Parks today 9/14/07,
instead of taking bus #2. Sign and date the note.
What do I do if my child is going to be absent?
Call the school at 624-6321 and leave a message with your child's
name, grade and teacher.You may also call 624-6321 to request
work to be picked up at the end of the day, or sooner if
possible, or sent home with a sibling. It is important to make up
all work missed so a student will not fall behind.
