Orchard Hills’ families:
For the past two years the federal government has provided free meals for all students. The incoming 2nd grade students have not had to pay for breakfast & lunch. Well, this year we are going back to pre-COVID times where you will pay for your child’s meals. Here is information from the nutrition department: Norwalk Nutrition Dept FAQs:
(docs.google.com/document/d/1ioyzhVgFb8tLqeNcYNYK48Gj38hEihISGeb_6WKBkIo/edit)
If you would like to apply for meal assistance, go to the district site on the nutrition department page:(www.norwalkschools.org/news/2022/07/meal-assistance-application-available-on-july-15/)

1 week Warriors! We are looking forward to welcoming back our students next Tuesday, Aug. 23rd! ✏️📚🍎
North Ave/Hwy 28 Intersection Update: The City of Norwalk continues work on the North Ave and Hwy 28 Intersection Improvement Project. Work within the area is expected well into the school year. For everyone's safety, please continue to drive slowly and avoid distractions while driving. If possible, finding an alternate route might be the best option when school begins next week to avoid traffic delays during the morning and afternoon commute times.
Student Pick up and Drop off will be the same as last year. We are asking that students be dropped off and picked up on the south side of the building. This is the area between the tennis courts and baseball/softball fields. Please do not have your student walk across the traffic. Have them wait in the vehicle until the passenger side of the car is next to building. The parking lot in front of the school is reserved for teachers, busses, and student driver traffic. This video will show you the proper flow of traffic and where to drop off the students and pick them up. If you student has a medical condition please contact the school to see if using the front parking lot will be allowed.
When we all follow this, it works really well. We take your student's safety seriously!
Who would I talk to about getting some sidewalks over on Elm for all of the walking students? Or maybe a crossing guard or two to help out. There’s been some real near misses over there and it gets worse every year.
