Welcome back to a new school year!
Qualifying meals are free this year! But please make sure you are still filling out your Free and Reduced Lunch Applications as there are many benefits in doing so. Milk, extra entrees and Ala Carte “High School Only” will be available for purchase.
We encourage all parents to use the Linq Connect Portal, https://linqconnect.com/. This allows you to make lunch payments, pay for fees, fill out lunch applications, check lunch menus and more.
Free and reduced lunch applications can be filled out online at https://linqconnect.com/ or by using the Linq app on your handheld device. The application can also be accessed through the district website or by contacting Kim Splett at 237-6500, or stop into any of our offices at your convenience. If you need assistance filling out the free and reduced application or have questions regarding the application please contact Kim or stop by the District Office between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.
We look forward to the coming school year. Any questions about student lunch accounts, balances owed or our milk program can be directed to me.
Sincerely,
JT Clark
