Work remains to be done on roof damage that occurred at the same time. Other major summer projects in the district included foundation and drainage work at the elementary building and installation of new visitors' bleachers and renovation of the home bleachers at the athletic field. An electronic purchasing system was introduced in the cafeterias of all three buildings this year. The electronic system facilitates compliance with regulations of the federal lunch program and the recommendations of the district's auditors. While some difficulties were encountered with start-up of the program, the wait time has been diminished.
Some delay is encountered when students forget their cards.
Parents whose children may be eligible for free or reduced lunches are encouraged to complete the needed application as soon as possible if their children are not participating. Older children often do not want to be identified as receiving assistance with lunches. The new electronic system eliminates public identification of these children. Applications may be picked up at the administration office or may be obtained by calling 255-6751. All of our future efforts, initiatives, and changes will be directed toward preparing our children for a rapidly changing world.
