 We Need Your Help!!
We must receive 100% COMPLETION for our lunch APPLICATIONS.
The window closes on 9/12.

Many scholars now have lunch balances! This may be due to an incomplete lunch application for this
year.

You Need to apply if:

You have not completed a lunch application this year
Your child was identified as FREE OR REDUCED IN THE PAST

Thanks to all the families that have completed this process already.

We Are Almost 100%

Please READ!
 Volunteering is an important part of your child’s education. Examples of volunteers include
parents/guardians volunteering for classroom helpers, in-class tutors, performers/ speakers
from external agencies, and field trips.
*Exceptions: mystery reader, eating lunch in the cafeteria, attending field day, and class
parties.

Our District has an ongoing effort to ensure the safety and security of all students. All
Volunteers are required to submit a Volunteer Release Form and Criminal History Release
Form, allowing the scan of their full names and driver’s license through the appropriate
criminal databases by the Office of Safety & Security. Registered sex offenders will not be
allowed to volunteer.
Note: Persons must visit The APS Central Office to complete and submit these forms. (130
Trinity Ave. SW Atlanta, GA)

In support of student safety, the superintendent requires that all schools and administrative
offices identify and screen all volunteers. Security clearances for volunteers must be renewed
every two years. Volunteers will be issued volunteer badges, which must be displayed at all
times while on school property. All volunteers must complete and sign a Volunteer Release
Form.

You can get the Volunteer Release Form from Counselor Brown. You must take this form to
Atlanta Public Schools. Please contact Counselor Brown if you have any questions.

See the attachment in this email for the Volunteer Release Form.

Contact Ms. Tracie Brown, Counselor for more details
