Students can enter the building at 9:00 am when the bell rings and the doors officially open. Families that drive their children to school in the morning need to wait with their kids until Door 17 opens at 9:00 am. We do not have staff to supervise students before 9:00 am. Thank you for your support!   If your student walks to school, please plan accordingly so that the arrival time is at 9:00 am.   Bus drivers hold all students on the buses until the bell rings at 9:00 am.   Thank you!

 

    Please be sure that we have your current email and phone number information. Families are notified via the district-wide automated phone calling system in the event of late start/school closings during inclement weather.

    Please contact the school office at 651-982-8000 or email Martha Charpentier mcharpentier@flaschools.org if you need to update your family contact information.

Food & Nutrition Department Back to Normal Operations

Beginning August 1, 2022, the Food & Nutrition Department will return to normal operations. What does this mean? 

Breakfast and lunch will still be available to all students; however, they will not be free to all students. That means families will need to complete the meal benefit application to qualify for free or reduced-priced meals. Students who do not qualify for free or reduced-priced meals must pay full price for breakfast and lunch. Please see the 2022-2023 school meal prices below. 

Forest Lake Food & Nutrition Services follows USDA guidelines for all school meals. These standards ensure meals are healthy, well balanced, and provide adequate nutrition they need to succeed at school.  Any à la carte food items sold to students outside the breakfast and lunch program follows the USDA Smart Snacks guidelines. Smart Snacks guidelines have reduced calories, sodium, fat and sugars to ensure students are only offered tasty and nutritious foods during the school day.
