Tuesday, August 16th

As a reminder for our first day of school tomorrow, we begin at 8:15 with a 12:30 dismissal.  If your student has specific bus information and you have not talked to your bus driver or Laura, please do so. 

Thanks you to all who attended back to school night yesterday.  It was great to see lots of smiling faces and student body ready to tackle the 2022-2023 school year!  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.

Parents if you have a Middle or High School Student please create a Infinite Campus Parent Portal.  This tool is extremely information and will help you follow along with assignments, grades, attendance and so much more!

From the Hope Lutheran Church in Huron---I am hoping to take a moment of your time to tell you about an opportunity for children in your area. Sleep in Heavenly Peace is a nonprofit organization that provides twin size beds (free of charge) to children ages 3-17 so that no child sleeps on the floor. As part of our mission outreach we are partnering with a chapter in Brookings. By going to the website www.shpbeds.org and choosing the Brookings chapter, anyone can apply for a free bed. The Brookings Chapter would then make contact with us and we would contact the family and set up a time to come in and set the bed up. Besides the twin size beds, sheets, a quilt and pillow are also provided.
