HOT LUNCH ACCOUNTS: Take time to enroll online with myschoolbucks.com. This allows you to view account balances and meal purchases, schedule automatic payments, or make payments anytime, anywhere from their mobile app or online. Enrolling is easy:Go to and click Sign Up Today. Create an account for yourself and your children. You will need your student’s 8-digit ID number (contact your school’s office for this information.) You’ll also need date of birth, school (choose Bishop Neumann), and grade. Once your account is created, remember to sign up for Email Notification. It will automatically send an email reminder when your account is low. Even if you don’t want to make deposits online, it is an easy way to keep track of your child’s lunch account. Cost of aGrade School Lunch is $2.60 and an extra milk 50¢

PARENT PERMISSIONS: When your student will be going home with someone else or going home on a bus other than their usual route, we ask that you contact the office (or teacher) that your student has your permission to do so. At the end of the day, (and once the buses have arrived) it is quite difficult to find out that a student is telling us they are going home with someone else or on another bus. We’ve had a few incidences lately whereby this has happened. Also, be sure to check with the other parent if it’s okay to take your child with them….. Sometimes that parent doesn’t know that is the plan either! Without a notification from a parent, it is our obligation to send them home their usual way.

CHEER CAMP: PRE-K THROUGH 5TH GRADE GIRLS: Bishop Neumann’s Little Cavaliers CHEER Clinic will be held on Friday, October 14th for PreK through 5th grade girls. Registration forms were sent home with your daughter last week. Attached is another copy in case it was misplaced. Deadline to register is TOMORROW, Thursday September 29th!
