About Skyward
School Lunches are Free for 2022-2023
Universal Free School Meals has been extended in Massachusetts for the 2022-2023 school year! This means that breakfast and lunch will continue to be served at no cost to all students. Please note that even though meals will be free for all students, it is very important for families to still complete the household Application for Free and Reduced Price Meals for the 2022-2023 school year. We strongly encourage ALL families to submit this form as it allows us to establish eligibility for P-EBT benefits with your school districts, and serve families most effectively. You can find that form in your Skyward Parent Portal.
Childhood Nutrition Outreach Program
The Childhood Nutrition Outreach Program (CNOP) provides school districts with support and resources to increase student participation in school breakfast, as well as technical assistance regarding the Community Eligibility Program (CEP), SNAP/P-EBT, and Universal Free Meals.
PE Standards
Physical Education Teacher Justin Carrus explains the goals and expectations for all students in grades K-12 participating in PE Class. The physical education program has three goals: 1) Learn three skills (psychomotor/cognitive/affective & social); 2) follow National Association of Sport and Physical Education standards, and; 3) Have fun!
