[quote=Anonymous]From the parent listserve

I've seen your questions coming in, and I've been waiting for either a person in leadership or an "experienced" ATS parent to chime in . . . I am NOT on the PTA, so I'm just giving you my experience from pre-covid on a number of questions you've asked:

1. Baroody camps: (after school enrichment) the fall schedule always seems to come out much later than I expect -- like end of September, early October (I just checked past emails, and in 2019, the fall schedule wasn't released until 9/27). I don't know if Baroody will be working with ATS this year, but just know that if they are, we probably won't get schedules for many more weeks.

Meal cards: your child will use their school ID number for deducting money from their lunch account, which you set up in Schoolbucks. In kindergarten, when the students line up to walk to the cafeteria, the teacher hands the "hot lunch" students a card that has their name and ID number on it, and the lunch ladies collect the cards as the students walk through the kitchen. In older grades, the students know their ID numbers by heart, and punch them into a machine as they walk through the line. (tip: make sure to use the "autopay" feature, or whatever its called, in your Schoolbucks account . . . you can have the account automatically add an amount of money specified by you to the account once it hits a certain low point . . . from past experience I can tell you that the lunch money seems to go fast, and it's so much easier to not have to think about it!)[/quote]
