Why Eat School Lunch?
School lunch offers students a nutritious menu variety that follows the Dietary Guidelines for Americans which recommend that no more than 30% of calories come from fat and less than 10% from saturated fat. Regulations also establish a standard for school lunches to provide one-third of the Recommended Dietary Allowances of protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, calcium and calories. Students that eat meals served through the National School Lunch Program are more likely to be at a healthy weight. NSLP participants are more likely to consume vegetables, milk, milk products, and meat than those students packing their lunch from home.
How Do I Apply For Free Lunch? Do I Need to be Income Qualified? Yes, see income guidelines on our school website under Food Service. Applications are available in any of our school offices. You may also apply online by going to www.wautomasd.org click on Explore> Parents And Students> Infinite Campus Portal. You only have to do one application per family

Students in Mrs. Shepard's 6th grade class are determining when reading is fantastic and what happens when reading goes terribly wrong for them. They were put into small groups and then as a whole group, they made a master list so they can use this to overcome some of the stumbling points of reading and how to focus on what is in their control. Some reasons of why reading is difficult include when they are distracted, when seating is uncomfortable or they are reading a book too hard for them. Some reasons of why reading is not positive include when they get to choose their book, they can reread a book and when they have a personal connection to the text. We are off to a great start this year.
