NEWS FROM THE LUNCHROOM:
- All meals must be prepaid. A payment into your student's lunch account is necessary prior to the first day of school.
- You will have an opportunity to put funds in your child's lunch account at Meet the Teacher Day.
- The balance from your child's lunch account last year will be carried over into this school year – whether it was a positive or negative balance.
- Incoming Kindergarten families – your student will have one opportunity this year to eat lunch at Lincoln. You may pay for that lunch during Meet the Teacher Day.
- You can sign up online any time (even before Meet the Teacher Day!) at www.paypams.com to electronically deposit money into your child's lunch account throughout the year. You will need your child's student I.D. number or lunch account number. Please contact Student Nutrition Services at 328-4218 if you don't know this information.
- If you feel you might be eligible for the free and reduced lunch program, please make sure you complete an application. Contact the Student Nutrition Services office at 328-4218 if you need an application.
- Emergency Health Plan: If you received an Emergency Care Plan (ECP) in the mail; you are asked to see the nurse during the orientation/meet the teacher event. The ECP needs to be turned in, updated if needed and signed for the coming school year. Please allow time to accomplish this important task before the start of school so we can meet your child's needs during the school day.
- Medication: Should your child need any scheduled or as needed medication(s) during the school day, orientation/meet the teacher is an excellent time to bring them into the health office. Prescription medications need to have a medication authorization form signed by a medical care provider. These can be found in the health office, on the Rochester public schools web site or provided by your medical care provider.
- Immunizations - Important Notice: No one will be allowed to start school until all immunizations are current. Registration materials for students who need shots will be taken to the Edison Building in August, and parents will need to go there with proof of immunizations before your child can be admitted to school.
