Need shoes for school???
The Fredonia Church of Christ (600 N. 15th) is having a shoe giveaway on Sunday, August 14th from 1:00-3:00.
Every child can receive a pair of new or gently used tennis shoes, so make sure you stop by and get some back to school shoes!
The USD 387 board of education has decided to offer pre-school classes to 4 year olds only at this time. Pre-school classes will be in the afternoon, and screening for those students who have not been previously screened will still take place on Thursday August 4th from 8:00-4:00. Please call the elementary school on or after August 1st to set up your appointment.
We would like to give a huge thank you to the Altoona-Midway USD 387 Education Foundation for purchasing back to school supplies for our students! Elementary students will still need to furnish their own backpack and gym shoes. Middle/High school students may need various items depending on their class enrollment and teachers will let them know the first week of class. #GearedUpForAGreatYear 📚
The federal waivers that have allowed us to serve all students free meals the last two years expired on June 30, 2022. Meal fees will revert back to the pre-covid system for next year. All families that have not received a letter stating they are direct certified are encouraged to fill out an application to qualify for free/reduced meals. This not only benefits you, but the school district as well. Paper applications will be available at enrollment, but you can save time by using this convenient online link: https://schoolmealsapp.ksde.org/Home/welcome/D0387
There will be a nurse at enrollment on August 3 from 1:00-6:00 for any students needing vaccinations for the upcoming school year.
