Even if you’re unsure whether your family qualifies, filling out the application benefits not only your household, but the entire district. Here are five important reasons to submit the application:
1) Free or reduced breakfast and lunch prices
2) Additional funding for technology and internet access
3) Discounted fees for SAT, ACT and AP exams along with scholarship opportunities
4) Discounts for fees associated with college applications
5) Helps with the district's state aid funding
Please note: You must re-enroll in this program each year! Apply today: www.baschools.org/page/freereduced-meal-program


To keep our car rider line running smoothly and safely for everyone, please remember a few key things:
**Do not cut in line. We send numbers into the gym in a specific order. When cars are out of place, it slows everyone down.
**Do not park in the crosswalk. Many students walk home and need to use the crosswalks safely.
**Wait for a thumbs-up from Mrs. G. This signals that she has seen your number and sent it into the gym. Moving forward before she gives the signal forces her to leave her post, which slows down the entire line.
Thank you for your patience and help as we get more proficient each day at getting our large group of students home.


If your student participated in the Summer Bridge program, please return their Brain Quest workbooks by Friday.
This includes students who received their workbooks from another BA site but have since moved to Vandever.
We will be drawing for prizes on Friday afternoon!
