School Bulletin

August 21, 2026

Principal Message - I wanted to thank everyone for a great start to the year.  Thank you for being patient in the driveline and saying hello and waving.  It is with great pleasure that we get to see our families everyday.  We are working on developing different volunteer opportunities for our guardians.  Your presence at school to help out, whether in the classroom, on field trips, in the lunch room, with the Watchjags program is appreciated.  Watch out for more opportunities to come. Thank you for all your support. - Brendon Feddema

Breakfast and Lunches -  Did you know you can view the entire menu here. You can download the Nutrislice app on your phone too.  What’s nice, is you can click on any item, and it will provide nutrition information about each food item.
Free Lunch - Lunches are free to all students. It is important that families apply for Free/Reduced (soon to be called Student Benefits Application) lunches if they think they qualify. Those that qualify will be exempt from paying school fees. For more information or to apply, use this link charterchoice.strataapps.com.  If your child requires a modification to their meals, please contact our health office and they will assist in completion of the meal modification form.

Assessment Days (K-6) - Students are assessed at the beginning of the year in order for us to attain a benchmark of data.  The assessment days are Friday August 28 and Monday, August 31.  The assessment session will be for a ½ day for each student. Teachers will provide a sign up to you by the first day of school.  The assessment session time frames are Friday 8-11:00 a.m., Friday 12-3:00 p.m., and Monday 8-11:00 a.m.  Your student will only attend one of these sessions. Pre-K follows their regular schedule.
