Main Office Can No Longer Hold Money for Students

Please note that the Main Office is no longer permitted to hold money for your student for any reason.  Please do not put Ms. Kumar in the awkward position of asking her to do so, as this is a liability issue both for her and the school.  Please make sure to plan ahead to give your student any money s/he needs for the school day.
