Earlier this month we were happy to announce that all students would be able to eat free due to an extension of federal funding. This extension will continue through Dec. 31, 2020, or until the program funding is depleted. Since we do not know when that might happen, we want to remind you that you should still complete the Free and Reduced Price Meal application for 2020-2021. This will ensure that once the pandemic meal program expires your family will continue to receive meal benefits, if you are eligible. The current pandemic has impacted many SPS families in ways that may have changed their eligibility. Even if your family has not qualified for free or reduced price meals in the past, the only way to confirm your eligibility is to complete the application. It only takes a few minutes to complete and is available online here. If needed, please review these Frequently Asked Questions and Income Eligibility Guidelines to assist in completing your application. You may also obtain a printed copy of the application from your child's school or by calling the Nutrition Services office at (417) 523-1130. Thank you. |
* MEALS ON VIRTUAL DAYS - SPS will make meals available for students to take home for use on days when they are learning from home or for students fully virtual. These meals must be pre-ordered. Cost of the meals are free. Click here for more information.
Students should pick these up from the cafeteria at dismissal on Tuesday or Friday.
* Virtual Open House Video:
Thank you Mr. Loudis and our Broadcast students for producing this for us!
* Yearbooks are on sale now for $50 and can be purchased HERE.
* Wednesday Virtual Day - Each teacher has scheduled a 15 minute time during each students scheduled class time in which they will be live via Zoom. This time will be to present new material and/or review previous material. If you have any questions please contact your teacher via email or Canvas as they are working from home on Wednesday's as well.
* Thank you for your patience with us as we navigate the hybrid model of learning. Remember teachers are with students M/T & Th/Fri. If you have questions please email or send a message via Canvas. Allow them up to 24 hours to respond as most of them only have one planning period each day. Thank you.
