Thursday, August 18th (Blue Day)

Back to school paperwork is due back to the office Monday, August 22nd.  A reminder that lunches are not free this year.  A free and reduced application is in your back to school packets and you are encouraged to fill this paperwork out to see if you would qualify.   For school year (SY) 2022-23, families who may qualify for free or reduced-price meals will need to submit a free and reduced-price meal application. As you know, Sanborn Central School District had some flexibilities during COVID so we could serve free meals to all students. That option has now expired, so we can’t serve free meals to all anymore. Instead, families will do what they did before COVID. Schools will take applications and use family income to qualify students for free, reduced-price, or paid meals.  There are still many ways children can get free meals. Children are automatically eligible for free meals if anyone in their household gets SNAP, TANF, or FDPIR benefits. Sanborn Central School District will alert you if your child is automatically eligible.

Congratulations to the following newly elected Middle School Student Council Reps.

The football program is looking for a couple of people to help with stats and someone to video. It could be students or it could be adults. If interested please let Mr. Kolousek or Mr. McCain know or one of the coaches.
Note – I will help train the stats people for anyone interested. It is pretty easy and you get to stand on the sideline.
