Our Hornets receive one free breakfast and one free lunch per day at school without worrying about qualifying based on income. While that is exciting, we still need everyone to complete and return the "Education Benefits Form". The eligibility determinations from the submitted forms are used for much more than meals -- state at-risk funding calculations, local distribution of Title I funding, and waiving testing fees. If you have already returned your form, thank you! If you have not done so yet, please try to do it next week.


Good morning, Hornet Nation! Click the link for the newest issue of "All the Buzz." There is Street Fair info, reminders about the revised dress code, an updated flyer from our health clinic, and much more. #HornetPride

Staff is back learning and preparing for our students to join us next Monday! We launched with breakfast, then jumped into our focus on purposeful student engagement in support of students' future stories.#LifelongLearners #HornetNation




Another reminder for bus riders this year: if you are a new enrollee, a new bus rider, or your address has changed since last year's route, please print and fill out the attached form and either fax it to 989.539.7491 or drop it off at your school office.
Drivers are in the process of calling families to verify locations and pick up/drop off times. If you have not heard from a driver by Wednesday, August 16, please call the bus garage at (989) 539-7082.
If you are a Larson family, there will be a bus and driver at the open house for exploration of the bus and/or questions for the driver.

As we prepare to welcome our students back on August 21, we have a few more updates for you:
-- Grade-level teacher assignments for Larson will be shared as soon as possible. We are awaiting a Skyward "roll-up" with 2023-2024 information, and we do not control that timing. Once that does occur, emails will be sent to all those for whom we have an email address, and letters will be printed and mailed for all students. We believe you may also be able to see the assignment in Skyward itself once the system is updated. We cannot post lists due to federal and state privacy laws.
-- Class schedules for grades 6-12 should be available at August 16 open houses; again, printing those are dependent on the Skyward roll-up.
-- Any specific school supply lists will be posted on each school's FaceBook page and/or shared at open house. As always, we will supply any item a student does not possess.
Keep checking this space for additional updates.

**All open houses will be held on Wednesday, August 16**
Larson (all grades): 4:00-6:00 pm
MS (6th grade only): 4:30-5:00 pm
MS (all grades): 5:00-6:00 pm
Hive (all grades): 4:00-5:00 pm
HS (9th grade only): 5:30-6:00 pm
HS (all grades): 6:00-7:00 pm


As families may be pulling together clothes for the first day of school and beyond, here is a graphic to help understand our new dress code (previously shared). It displays the MINIMUMS for tops and bottoms.

Our Administration Building (fka Hillside Elementary) will now be operating under summer hours.
Monday through Thursday, we will be available to help you from 6:00 am through 4:00 pm. The building will be closed on Fridays.
