School Information
- Visitors: All Arlington schools are closed to non-registered/scheduled visitors, which includes the first day of school. Therefore, please plan to drop your student(s) off at the front exterior door on the first day of school. We will have a photo opp set up, for your first day of school pictures in front of the building. Grown-ups needing to meet with office staff or the nurse may buzz in at the front door as usual.
- Free Breakfast and Lunch: We are pleased to announce that the Presidents School meal program will be supplemented by Meals for Washington Students funds. Meals for Washington Students funds are available to select WA schools participating in the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. This means that beginning the 24-25 school year, all students receive a nutritious breakfast and lunch at no cost, regardless of family income.
- Free/reduced lunch form: In order to maintain free meal status for all students for next school year, we need students that qualify to continue to turn in a free/reduced lunch form. This form is used to collect information and ensure that Presidents Elementary School and Arlington Public Schools receive all funding they are entitled to for federal meal programs and state educational programs. If applications are not turned in and Free/reduced percentages decrease, Presidents Elementary may no longer be eligible to participate in this program and provide free meals to all students in the future.
