MEALS Free/Reduced Lunch Applications- Free and reduced lunches are available for eligible children. Application forms are sent home each September and may be obtained from the school office during the school year. Even if you are not eligible for this service, please fill out or cross through the form, sign it, and have your child return it to school. This is essential that we have a response from each of our family households in order to secure adequate Title I Funding.

M M N NURSE INFORMATION Good health is essential for your child’s regular attendance and academic success. Please notify your child’s teacher of any medical conditions that could impact learning or participation. If your child is running a fever or feeling unwell, we ask that you keep them home to rest and recover. Additionally, if your child sustains an injury outside of school, please ensure they receive appropriate care before returning to school. Pinehurst has a full-time school nurse available daily to support student health and wellness. Health services at school include vision and hearing screenings for all Pre-K students, Second Grader students, new students to the county, and students referred by teachers or parents/guardians. Parents/guardians will be notified if any concerns are identified during these screenings. If you do not wish for your child to participate in the screenings, you may opt out by submitting a written request to the school administrator. In the event of sudden illness or injury at school, first aid will be administered by the nurse or a trained staff member. Parents/guardians will be contacted if the situation requires attention beyond what the school can provide. If parents/guardians cannot be reached and emergency care is needed, 911 will be called for assistance. If a student is sent home with a fever, they must remain at home and be fever-free for 24 hours without the use of medication before returning to school.
