VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
 
Woodland School Council Volunteer Position
We have one opening on the Woodland School Council for a parent representative.  No experience needed.  The Council (a combination of principal, parents, PTO and teachers/staff) meet once per month via zoom to support educational goals, review annual school building budget and formulate a school improvement plan.  If interested, please contact Courtney Farkas at courtney.l.farkas@gmail.com or Meghan Covington at meghancovington@gmail.com.
QUESTIONS ABOUT ORDERING LUNCH?
Weston schools are providing bagged lunches for students who would like to order lunch instead of bringing it from home.  The bagged lunches are brought to the classroom daily before lunch time.  Here is the link to the school lunch menu:  https://www.westonschools.org/country/blog/2017/09/25/lunch-menu/.  The order form link is above the menu.  It says “Click here for the school lunch order form.”  You will need your child’s Student ID Number, which can be found in Infinite Campus. You will order weekly and must complete the entire week choosing “No Lunch” on the days you will not want lunch.   Changes or updates after the form is submitted should be called or emailed to Melanie at 781-786-5292 or pleskom@weston.org.  All orders must be received no later than 8:00 am for service that day. The weekly order form will be updated each Friday by 1:30 PM.  If you have any questions about ordering lunch, please contact Food Services by phone at (781) 786-5321 or email at concannonk@weston.org.  DON’T FORGET TO TELL YOUR STUDENT IF YOU HAVE ORDERED LUNCH FOR HIM/HER THAT DAY 🙂
