We welcome teachers back tomorrow! It's going to be a great year!

Grays Chapel Elementary is thrilled to announce its AgVentures Ag Club! Our students will have the opportunity to work alongside educators and students from Providence Grove High School and explore agriculture, serve the community, learn new concepts, and make new friends. Meetings will be held at Grays Chapel Elementary once a month right after school. Club members will need to be picked up at 4:00 pm (specific meeting dates will be shared soon!).

Please scan the QR code on the flyer for more information!

This school year, students in all 17 elementary schools, all 6 middle schools and Eastern Randolph High School will be provided meals at no cost through the Community Eligibility Program. No free or reduced-price meal application is required for students attending these schools.

Meal prices for non-Community Eligibility schools, which includes all other high schools, are $1.25 for breakfast and $2.45 for lunch. If you believe your family would qualify for a reduced-price meal benefit, apply online at www.lunchapplication.com

If your family received a notification letter stating that all of your students are approved for meal benefits for the 2026-2027 school year, no application is required to be completed. Contact School Nutrition Services if any of your student's names are not listed on the letter.

If you have any questions about free and reduced-price meal benefits, the application process, or the Community Eligibility program, please call School Nutrition Services at 336-633-5130.
