š Early release reminder
šDon't forget! Two no-school days are coming up next week.
Also, the first nine weeks will come to a close this Friday, Oct. 11, with report cards to be distributed Wednesday, Oct. 16.
The Artesia Public School District announced today it will operate the Community Eligibility Program (CEP) under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program for the 2024-2025 school year.
Schools qualifying to operate CEP serve breakfast and lunch to all children at no charge and eliminate the collection of meal applications for free, reduced-price, and paid student meals. This new approach reduces burdens for both families and school administrators and helps ensure that students receive nutritious meals.
