Attendance Matters

Last week I shared our current attendance rate and our goal of 97% of Weston students being present each month. Attendance is the primary factor of student success. Students must be present to receive the quality and standard-based instruction they need to be successful learners. #everydaymatters

Below is a visual with tips on how to create a successful morning. Habitual tardies also impact learning. If you are wanting up-to-date information in regards to the number of absences or tardies your student(s) has, please contact our front office (317-462-1492).

Community & GC Club Opportunities

Realife Steam Academy offers after-school care to students who attend both Weston and Harris Elementary schools. We are located on US 40 inside Realife Church. We currently pick up students at Weston with our activity bus and are willing to pick up at Harris as well. We are open daily from 7AM to 6PM.

Calendar and Menus

School Lunch & Breakfast Fees ~ The school meals program is funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, school corporations across the country have been operating with the use of a federal waiver that allowed them to feed every child for free through the end of this school year. The use of this waiver will not be available this school year and corporations will return to the traditional eligibility requirements for free, reduced and paid meals. This means that for School Year 2022-2023, our school corporation will be charging students for breakfasts and lunches. Free & Reduced Application for Families

EZ School Pay ~ Lunch Accounts - Greenfield-Central is once again using www.ezschoolpay.com to put lunch money in your child’s lunch account (there is a small fee and you will need your child’s student number found on Powerschool). Lunch money may also be submitted by check when you come to registration. Please be sure to keep your child’s lunch account in good standing. Additionally, our cafeteria computer system does not have the capabilities to put a “block” on student lunch accounts for purchasing extra lunch items. You will want to make sure your child is on the same page as you when it comes to spending lunch account money. FYI, you can also pay textbook rental fees and iPad insurance on ezschoolpay as well! https://www.ezschoolpay.com/Login.aspx

YMCA

YMCA ~ We do offer YMCA after school care. Weston students will be bussed after school to Harris Elementary. Please visit the link below to register your student and read more information regarding the program.
