Sports Physicals and Well Child Exams
Click here to schedule your appointment today! This is also a great time to catch up on required vaccinations. Students interested in fall sports must have a current physical on file to participate - even for tryouts.
Free & Reduced Price Meals
All families are encouraged to complete a Child Nutrition Eligibility & Education Benefits (CNEEB) Form at the beginning of each school year. This form will help qualify your student(s) for Free or Reduced Price Meals, reduction of school fees and Sunbucks Summer EBT benefits. Completion of a CNEEB form also helps your child's school qualify for other benefits.
The federal government sets eligibility guidelines based on household income and size.
Beginning July 1, families may begin applying for the 2024-25 school year through our online lunch payment portal: https://linqconnect.com/main
Please note, there will not be any rollover from the previous year for waived fees.
Please remember to apply for Free and Reduced Meals and the Fee Waiver Program through Nutrition Services prior to paying fees. Qualifying for free or reduced meals may also help lower or waive other school fees such as ASB cards, event tickets, or testing fees.
Fees paid prior to becoming active in the Fee Waiver Program are non-refundable.
7th Grade Immunization Requirement
All students entering 7th grade must have received a Tdap booster on or after 10 years of age or have an exemption form on file before the first day of school. If you need an appointment with a provider, schedule it now; wait times can be lengthy. If your student needs a sports physical, your provider may be able to give the Tdap booster at the same time. Check with your local pharmacy as they may also be able to administer immunizations. Call your school office or school nurse with any questions.

It is important for young people to hear that anxiety, stress, and negative emotions are completely normal - particularly in times of crisis. They also need to hear that there is always HOPE. In fact, just one positive nurturing relationship with an adult can help kids fight the effects of trauma. Talk to us about concerns you have
