Lunch Balance Alerts!
Hello Parents.
This year with all meals being provided at no cost the only "Balance Alerts" the District will be sending out are the Negative Balance Alerts for South Campus students who get "extras" when they go through the lunch line. If you are getting Alerts other than that one you will want to adjust your Settings in TeacherEase. That can be changed from the Parent Main > Misc > Communication Preferences > Low Lunch Balance Notification > Change the Low Balance Threshold to 0.00 or disable it and Save.
Thank you
This year we would like to invite parents and community members to Seneca Grade School, South Campus to share their careers with our students! Career Awareness is an important component to enriching our students knowledge about their future. Each month we will be scheduling two different presenters to attend our lunches during 11:15pm-12:30pm. During this time, students will have the opportunity to visit our presenter's tables to learn and explore their career. We hope to expose our students to a variety of different careers/jobs! If you are interested in being a table presenter for our Career Cafe, please fill out and submit the form below. Once submitted, Mrs. Stehlik, our School Counselor, will contact you to schedule a time to come in. Thank you!
