• During the 2021-2022 school year breakfast and lunch were offered at no cost to families. Guidance from the USDA does not allow schools to offer universal free meals during the 2022-2023 school year. Families will need to complete the free and reduced meal application to see if they qualify to receive these benefits. Get the free and reduced meal application online at OFSD.K12.MO.US or get a hard copy from any school building. Please email a picture/ scan of your completed form to [email protected] or drop off at your student(s) school/ Central Office.

• As we begin the 2022-2023 school year, COVID-19 cases continue to occur in the region. It is critical that students stay home when they are exhibiting symptoms of the virus. This coupled with the use of available testing helps to reduce inadvertent spread in school communities. It is highly recommended that all families take advantage of the Federal Government’s opportunity to receive free at-home testing kits. These are delivered to your home and can be accessed here. 

You can also expect direct communication from your student(s) building administration in the next few days. We look forward to seeing you all on August 22, 2022!
