A friendly reminder to families: Meal Benefits applications must be completed every school year. Receiving free or reduced-price meals last school year does not automatically mean your student will receive those benefits this year.

To apply:
• Log in to your Parent Infinite Campus account.
• Click More on the left-hand menu.
• Select Meal Benefits.
• Click Meal Benefits Application and complete the application.
Prefer a paper application? Paper forms are available! Please let your student's teacher know if you would like a physical copy sent home. Or print from here! https://dese.mo.gov/media/pdf/attachment-d-e-instruction-and-application-pdf
Thank you for taking a few minutes to complete your family's application and help support our students!

The playground is DONE! 🎉
Our students had the BEST time this morning trying out the brand-new playground and swing set! To say they had a blast is definitely an understatement. We loved seeing all the smiles, laughter, and excitement as they explored their new playground!
What a great way to start the day! We love seeing our Pintos having fun, making memories, and enjoying these new spaces.
It’s a GREAT day to be a Pinto! 🐴
