Reha's Report
Dear Scott School Families,
The sunny, warm weather has been overdue and was definitely welcomed this week. Please help your child remember a water bottle to help stay hydrated throughout the day. Dressing for the weather and in accordance with our school code of conduct is also important. Remember, sandals with back straps are better than flip flops for PE and playing on the playground.
Excitement is in the air as we head into these final weeks of the school year. Our message to students is to finish strong by being the best version of themselves every day. Spring fever often sets in this time of year, so all of your help at home with encouragement, expectations, and similar messaging is appreciated. Thanks for being a champion for your child and a partner with our school.
With gratitude,
Linda Reha
Scott School Principal

Free Breakfast & Lunch Opportunity
DeWitt Public Schools is participating in the Seamless Summer Option as part of the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs this year. This means that every child can access a free school lunch and/or breakfast each day. Read the attached document for more details, and please be sure to complete and submit the necessary paperwork for Free and Reduced Lunch because this information determines the amount of state and federal funding our school receives.
There will only be one lunch choice this year, and it will be a cold, boxed option. Stay tuned for an updated menu to be posted on the district website soon. At this time, students will not be able to purchase only milk. We are hoping to add this option at some point in the year.
