Thank you to ALL parents who have helped us make everyday count by bringing your scholar to school EVERYDAY. Our average attendance at Minnequa is 94%, the goal this year is to be at 95% for the year. In order to reach this goal WE need your help- Every Minute, Every Day MATTERS! We will continue to have great incentives for scholars who are at school. A few reminders:

Our school start and end times are 7:45-3:05 Monday through Thursday. Scholars may begin arriving no earlier than 7:35 as there is no supervision until 7:35.

Minnequa scholars follow the district dress code guidelines. We do not require school uniforms. Minnequa Elementary School utilizes a portion of the school's Title I funds to purchase school supplies for all scholars. If parents wish to make a school supply donation, we appreciate hand sanitizer, baggies, tissue, pencils, and or expo markers. Scholars will receive free breakfast and lunch again this school year. We are excited to inform you that we have also been awarded the healthy snack grant again for the afternoons Monday through Thursday! This is a sample of healthy fruit and or vegetables each day. |
