Parents/Guardians, Starting Thursday, April 2, 2020, parents/guardians will no longer need to have their children with them when they pick up meals from our drive-through locations. We ask that parents/guardians ONLY take the number of meals that they will need for the children at their homes. No meals will be available for adults. A reminder that ALL children 18 years and younger are eligible to receive a meal at no cost. Please refer to the Monroe County School District website for our expanded meal drop off locations.
Attention Parents and Students! We are experiencing technical issues with the new online platform that was launched today and we are aware of the connectivity issues that you are having. We are currently working on solutions for these issues. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
Parents and Students...this is a great tool to use if you aren’t sure how to use Google Classroom! Many teachers will be using this platform for teaching and assignments. Please have your child log on to accept their classes if they haven’t done so already.
Attention Parents & Students- Over the next few days, you can anticipate lots of communication coming home from our phone system, website and on social media. Please stay informed and help us share this important information.
Does your child need social, emotional or behavioral support? Do you and/or your family need emotional, financial or other supports or resources? Our School Social Workers are here for you!

AHEC has released information about the reopening of School Clinics. The hours of operation will be changed to 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM daily. Clinic locations and days of operation for each site are located on the Clinic Flyers. Clinics will not plan to offer COVID-19 Testing at this time. Each patient who seeks care at one of the Clinics will also be assessed prior to entering the clinic space through a clinic pre-screening. Those assessed and are deemed at risk of COVID-19 will be referred for testing at a local site. Each Clinic location will have a poster with this information posted along with the clinic phone number to contact the provider inside. They ask that you contact the provider at each clinic prior to entering the clinic, this will allow them the ability to provide the highest quality of care for you and to protect all of us during this time. Questions and concerns can be directed to 305 743-7111 ext 210. They promise to get back to everyone in a timely manner so please leave a detailed message as needed. Please click "Learn More" for links to the flyers, clinic screening forms and the additional information that was mentioned above.
Food and Nutrition Services will be providing free meals for both breakfast and lunch, during the school closure. Please click learn more for flyers with additional information. The flyers are also available in Spanish and Creole.
