If your family account is getting low, an email will be sent to the parents/guardians. If the account shows a negative balance for an extended period of time, a phone call will be made or a letter will be mailed to the parents/guardians. Because the first days of school are a very hectic and a busy time for students and staff, parents who desire to make a lunch and/or breakfast payment before the first day of school may do so by mailing checks to the High School and/or Elementary School or by stopping by either office between 7:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on weekdays anytime in August. We greatly appreciate your cooperation and invite you to contact:  Heidi Searcy (hsearcy@schs.k12.mn.us or 932-4910) or  Lynda Otterson (lotterson@schs.k12.mn.us or 932-4420) if you have any questions.

Ready Set School

Dear Parent/Guardian: If your children get free or reduced price school meals, they may also be able to get free or low-cost health insurance through Medicaid or the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). Children with health insurance are more likely to get regular health care and are less likely to miss school because of sickness. Because health insurance is so important to children’s well-being, the law allows us to tell Medicaid and SCHIP that your children are eligible for free or reduced price meals, unless you tell us not to. Medicaid and SCHIP only use the information to identify children who may be eligible for their programs. Program officials may contact you to offer to enroll your children. Filling out the Free and Reduced Price School Meals Application does not automatically enroll your children in health insurance. If you do not want us to share your information with Medicaid or SCHIP, fill out the form below and send in (Sending in this form will not change whether your children get free or reduced price meals). No! I DO NOT want information from my Free and Reduced Price School Meals Application shared with Medicaid or the State Children's Health Insurance Program. If you checked no, fill out the form below to ensure that your information is NOT shared for the child(ren) listed below: Child's Name: ____________________________________School:________________ Child's Name: ____________________________________School:________________ Child's Name: ____________________________________School:________________ Signature of Parent/Guardian: ____________________________________Date:__________________ Printed Name: Address:
