September School Lunch Menu
Remember, the breakfast and lunch menus are in the dining section of our app. Any changes to the menus throughout the month should be updated there.
Due to downed power lines, Hamer Elementary will have a 10:00 am start. Buses will run 2 hours later. Please drop off at the church and have kids walk across the grass as power crew may be in the school parking lot. School will end at its regular time.
Terreton schools will start at their regular time.
Mr. Williams
Hamer Elementary Picture Day - Wednesday, August 23rd.
Bus message for parents and students using the bus stop near Sage Junction.
If parents are not at the bus stop on time in the morning, they will need to drive their kids to school.
If parents are not at the bus stop in the afternoon, Nyla would need to keep the students on the bus and meet the parents somewhere else on the route.
Back To School Open House
New Student Registration. Make an appointment by emailing Mr. Gemar at davidgemar@wjsd.org.
If you are a returning student and you need help with filling out the online registration forms, be sure to email Mr. Gemar and let him know what you need. DO NOT WAIT until the first day of school!
Parents & Students,
Terreton and Hamer Elementary Schools are excited to welcome everyone back! Both schools will have back-to-school open houses on August 18th from 11-2 PM. Come meet your teacher and see your new classrooms.
Hamer In-Person Registration has been moved to Terreton. Update on the Hamer School water: The new well was drilled this week, but the pump still needs to be installed. We are on schedule to have it all ready to go by the time school starts. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
2023-24 School Year School Meal Prices
Did you know that a portion of the Federal Funding our schools receive is based on the Free & Reduced Meals Applications that are submitted by the families in our school district? This funding pays for Intervention Staff (Paraprofessionals/Aides), Intervention Programs, and helps us qualify for Grants for our schools.
Due to the increase in the cost of food items, our school board approved a small increase to this year's meal prices. As you will notice, there is a big difference in the cost of the "Free & Reduced Meals." In order for your children to qualify for FREE or Reduced Price Meals, parents/guardians MUST fill out a Free and Reduced Meals Application EVERY SCHOOL YEAR. If no application is received, the full price for meals will be charged.
The 2023-24 Free & Reduced Meal Application is NOW AVAILABLE. Parents/Guardians may fill out the online application or a paper application available at Registration or at the Lunchroom.
Free & Reduced Meal Online Application: https://www.nlappscloud.com/
When we get closer to school starting and throughout the year, you will find the daily breakfast and lunch menus are the WJSD App and Website.
Also, our elementary schools have qualified again for the Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Grant. Free fruits and vegetables will be available for students to snack on during their last recess each day.
Are you having trouble with all of this online registration stuff? We will still have In-Person Registration at the Hamer Elementary Building for those who do not want to do it at home. You will still need to do the online portion, but we will have people at registration to guide you through it.
Mr. Gemar is working all this week for those who have questions about online registration or course selection. He is also making appointments for New Student Registration. davidgemar@wjsd.org or 208-663-4391
If you are just having trouble logging in to PowerSchool, you can contact our Tech Supervisor, Jon. reynaj@wjsd.org or 208-663-4542.
This is not a school-sponsored sport.
A boil order is in affect for Hamer Elementary School until further notice. DO NOT DRINK THE WATER. Steps are being taken to resolve this issue as soon as possible. (Notice issued June 23, 2023.)
Our Mental Health Counselor, Mr. DeGraw, is available for summer appointments.
Our Hamer Elementary Students have been working on putting together rocket kits and the day finally came to launch them! It was a blast!
