Aftercare will be in session on February 5th, however all students going to aftercare will need a lunch from home (no hot lunch is served on early dismissal days).
All 1st – 8th grade families are asked to take a moment to check your child/ren’s lunch account balance using the EZSchool Pay App.
We have numerous families with balances in the red. You can add to your child’s lunch account by sending money in an envelope (be sure to label it with your child’s name), sending in a check to Manchester Hot Lunch Program (be sure to write your child’s name in the Memo field), or using the EZSchool Pay App.
If you have any questions regarding your account, please reach out to Denise Mayo at dmayo@saintjamesschool.net or 860.643.5088 (ext 7).
