We are gauging the need for meal kit distribution for children not attending school in person. Those who are attending school in Cody in person are not eligible for these meal pick-ups as free meals are available daily at their school building. For all others please fill out this brief survey: https://forms.gle/2EViCs5Vj4JFkcGV7
Thank you!
The Cody Rotary Club's program called Happy Feet helps address a growing concern that children in our community lack adequate footwear. This program provides tennis shoes and snow boots to children whose
families struggle to keep growing children in adequate footwear. Please read about it in the attached image.
From Superintendent Monteith ~ First Positive COVID-19 Case
As expected, we had our first positive case of COVID-19. Our partners at Public Health contacted the school immediately and followed up with contact tracing. Within a few hours it was determined that no other students or staff would be required to quarantine. Our implementation of mask wearing and social distancing is working! Thank you to our partners in Public Health! Thank you to students, staff and parents for your support in adhering to our plan! Because of your efforts our schools will stay open!!
Free meals for all students
Yes, you absolutely read that correctly. The school nutrition department, in efforts to make sure food is available to all children, has opted to feed all children for free until Winter Break or until funds run out. In order to make this sustainable we need everyone to fill out a free and reduced form, please. https://family.titank12.com/application/new?identifier=HHCG2A
Funding for schools depends on our free and reduced percentage, this happens to be the time of year when we collect and submit this information to the state.
This move will have an impact on a la carte sales, they will have to cease. This means we will no longer be able to sell individual milk, extra entrees, and adult meals. I hope you can all view this as a small convenience to give up for the greater good for this short term period.
Make sure your student signs up each day during morning attendance to take advantage of these meals.
Be sure to watch for updates about curbside pick-ups!

Sunset parents, there are a few changes this school year to the way some things are done due to Covid 19 precautions.
The earliest students can be dropped off at school is 7:45 a.m.
In past years our school provided clothing, hats, gloves, and coats to students through various donations. We are no longer able to lend coats, hats, and gloves. If financial reasons prevent you from getting school clothing for your child please let our guidance counselor, Mrs. Baumstarck, know and she can help. These items will be given to the child to keep and not to share with others.
Please put your student’s names on their belongings, lunch boxes, coats, jackets, hats gloves, etc. if they are misplaced we can return it to them to the owner. We are unable to keep items in Lost and Found for more than one week. If your student has misplaced something at school, please have them check the Lost and Found in a timely manner. Unclaimed items are taken to the Bargain Box.
Sunset parents, our school district has a new online meal payment portal! Below are special links for parents. If your student had money on their account with our former system, My School Bucks, those funds were transferred over to their new account. If you have any questions, please call us at 587-4279.
Meal Application for free and reduced: https://family.titank12.com/application/new?identifier=HHCG2A
Family Portal direct link: https://family.titank12.com/HHCG2A
This link will get you set up to make payments online for each student.

We are getting screenshots of some great books kiddos are reading to Flat Mr. McCarten right now. I bet Flat Mr. McCarten was pretty sad at the end of "Where the Red Fern Grows". Reading can make us feel many different emotions. I wonder how he felt when Miss B or Mrs. P read to him?
WEEEE.... It looks like Flat Mr. McCarten is hitting the road for this READING ADVENTURE! Thanks for sharing and keep up the fantastic reading!
The bonds that are created while reading with your child are sometimes greater than the READING ADVENTURE itself! 💗
Sunset students and families: keep these inspiring pictures coming in. You can email your teacher or leannamorton@park6.org.
These kiddos have some wonderful evening reading routines! YAY! What are your evening reading routines?
Keep these amazing pictures of reading with Flat Mr. McCarten rolling in! SUNSET READS!
