School Lunches:
School lunches will be free again this year for all students. Be sure to add money to your account via MySchoolBucks if your student would like to buy extra and check out the lunch menu at each campus: https://www.aak8.org/apps/pages/aa-lunch.

**Please note for the MB campus: They will not be offering any ala-carte items for sale due to staffing shortages. Once that changes we will let our MB families know. It will be a good idea to pack extra snacks for snacktime and lunch.

Carpool Information:
The time is coming, and the pains of new school year carpool are inevitable. But if we all bring extra patience, grace, and TIME, we will get through the first couple of weeks quickly.

You received the Beginning of Year Carpool Letter from your office managers on August 11. Please read through that letter carefully and be ready to go. Even though carpool can be painful, we are so ready to have your students back with us! Set up a carpool with friends and neighbors by finding someone here!
