Please help… Please make sure to notify the school office if your child will be late or absent. 402-332-5617.

Thank You!

Need help? Please contact your school counselor… Sometimes there are moments in life we need some help. Mr. Lingenfelter has a variety of agencies who contact him throughout the year for help with food, clothes, and other needs.

It is confidential! You can call or email him for more information at [email protected] or call 402.332.5617.

Notes from the Nurse: The health office could use more small sized pants. If you are cleaning closets, the health office will happily take your donations of any 5/6 or 7/8 bottoms. Thank You!

** Lunch deposits can now be made online. Visit www.gretnaschoolspay.org CHANGE REGARDING HOT LUNCH PROGRAM: An email was sent regarding a change to our hot lunch program. We will begin using state-of-the-art identification equipment for our district’s hot lunch program. This new form uses the finger and its image to uniquely identify your child. The equipment protects your child from others accessing his/her account or others mistakenly entering your child’s lunch number. We will begin the process on Monday, November 26th. If you have any questions regarding the system, please call our Superintendent’s Office at 402-332-3265 and ask for Sharon Kerr.
