Monday we will gather at Weston to honor our veterans. Their sacrifices and dedication have secured the freedoms we cherish. Weston would like to express our gratitude, not just on November 11, but every day. Thank you to all veterans for your service.
Best on the Bus for October: It was noted by the bus drivers that these students are very polite, helpful, and display good citizenship on the bus.
These Weston Elementary students were recently recognized for displaying the character trait of Critical Thinking. They were creative, asked questions when they didn't understand something, and were good problem solvers.

We will draw two random scholarship winners during the months of October, November, December, and January. Increase your chances of winning by registering TODAY!

This year is a catch-up opportunity for any child in grades K-6 (class of 2030, 2031, 2032, 2033, 2034, 2035, and 2036). There is NO catch!!

If you signed up your child previously for the Hancock County Promise you don’t need to do anything as your child is still a part of the program.

School Lunch & Breakfast Fees ~ The school meals program is funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, school corporations across the country have been operating with the use of a federal waiver that allowed them to feed every child for free through the end of this school year. The use of this waiver will not be available this school year and corporations will return to the traditional eligibility requirements for free, reduced and paid meals. This means that for School Year 2023-2024, our school corporation will be charging students for breakfasts and lunches. Free & Reduced Application for Families
EZ School Pay ~ Lunch Accounts - Greenfield-Central is once again using www.ezschoolpay.com to put lunch money in your child’s lunch account (there is a small fee and you will need your child’s student number found on Powerschool). Lunch money may also be submitted by check when you come to registration. Please be sure to keep your child’s lunch account in good standing. Additionally, our cafeteria computer system does not have the capabilities to put a “block” on student lunch accounts for purchasing extra lunch items. You will want to make sure your child is on the same page as you when it comes to spending lunch account money. https://www.ezschoolpay.com/Login.aspx
YMCA ~ We do offer YMCA after school care. Please visit the link below to register your student and read more information regarding the program.
